They are full of protein, fiber and are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
Fiber: Rich in soluble fiber, after digested chickpeas forms a gel-like substance that snares cholesterol containing bile and carries it out of the body.
Rich in insoluble fiber, chickpeas helps to prevent constipation.

This is particularly important for menstruating, pregnant, and lactating women as well as growing children.
Weight Loss: The high fiber content in chickpeas make them excellent for weight loss.
They are satiating, keeping you full longer and controlling appetite.
