High in protein, chickpeas are one of the earliest cultivated vegetables: in the Middle East they have found remains dating back a staggering 7,500 years! Chickpeas are also low in fat (most of which is polyunsaturated) and they are a helpful source of phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, zinc and folate. High in dietary fibre, they are a healthy source of carbohydrates for anybody with insulin sensitivity or diabetes.
At Hale & Hearty, we add chickpea flour to other flours because it increases the protein content meaning you feel fuller for longer, leaving you satisfied with a smaller serving.
