Why Do People Use Chick Pea?
Chickpeas are a helpful source of zinc, folate and protein. Chickpeas are low in fat and most of this is polyunsaturated. Nutrient profile of desi chana (the smaller variety) is different, especially the fibre content which is much higher than the light coloured variety. One hundred grams of mature boiled chickpeas contains 164 calories, 2.6 grams of fat (of which only 0.27 grams is saturated), 7.6 grams of dietary fiber and 8.9 grams of protein. Chickpeas also provide dietary phosphorus (168 mg/100 g), which is higher that the amount found in a 100-gram serving of whole milk.
Recent studies have also shown that they can assist in lowering of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Sprouted Bengal gram is reported to possess higher antioxidant potential along with inhibitory potential against carbohydrate digestive enzmymes relevant to type-2 diabetes (alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase)
