I am obsessed with chickpeas. Being a vegetarian, I really rely on fresh, hearty ingredients to make me feel full and satisfied. I always feel amazing after a homemade chickpea salad.
Chickpeas themselves are so versatile; they can be eaten raw, roasted, pureed into hummus, made into falafels, the possibilities are boundless.
Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber. They also contain many nutrients such as vitamin K, folate, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese, choline, and selenium.
