| A big part of my weekly routine is cooking chickpeas! Canned chickpeas are more expensive and also the cans are a nuisance. So I order Non-GMO chickpeas in 25 lb. bags so there's always plenty to make into hummus, or chickpea salad, or to add to a veggie stir fry or soup. After cooking and cooling a big batch, I divide them into these reusable containers for freezing. Chickpeas are high in fiber and just one cup contains 15 grams of protein. According to https://www.thehealthy.com/nutrition/chickpea-nutrition-facts/ the chickpea “is an excellent source of folate, zinc, copper, iron, and manganese. Zinc is a mineral that’s important for development of some of the cells in charge of defending your body against toxins or foreign substances that threaten your immunity. Copper and iron work together to help your body form red blood cells, and manganese is helpful for blood sugar control.” So I invite you to enjoy this ancient legume next time you order and let me know what YOU like to make with chickpeas, too! |  |
