Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans or ceci, belong to a group of legumes and possess numerous health benefits. They are an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids, making them a viable meat substitute. Chickpeas are a source of complex carbohydrates and fiber. They provide the body with various vitamins and minerals, including significant amounts of phosphorus, vitamin B9, iron, zinc, magnesium, and potassium. They also contain unsaturated fatty acids. Chickpeas are low in calories and have a low glycemic index, and the fiber they contain makes them a perfect, excellent snack. Interestingly, aquafaba, the water left after cooking chickpeas (canned chickpeas have the same properties), is naturally rich in protein and saponins and can be whipped like egg whites. This preparation is used to make many dishes, including mousse or vegan alternatives. Aquafaba is low-calorie and gluten-free.
