Cooked Pedrosillano Chickpeas from Local Organic Producers 220gr

PROPERTIES

• Chickpeas stand out for being a remarkable source of slow-absorbing carbohydrates, which produce a gradual assimilation of glucose, thus avoiding the imbalance of sugar levels and generating constant energy. They are very protein-rich, but at the same time, very low in saturated fats and high in fiber. When combined with cereals (rice, couscous...), the quality of their proteins increases. Its fiber content improves intestinal transit and contributes to an even slower absorption of carbohydrates. Chickpeas contain many minerals, especially phosphorus, iron, and magnesium, and are particularly rich in vitamins B1, B6, and folic acid.

PREPARATION

• Since they do not need to be cooked, they save you a lot of time and offer many possibilities in the kitchen. They can be included in both cold and hot dishes. Chickpeas allow for the preparation of various and substantial dishes, from winter stews and potages to summer salads. Root vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, or parsnips, add flavor and texture while helping to facilitate their assimilation. Cereals, included in many traditional recipes, complement their nutritional values, especially when used in the proper proportion: one part chickpeas to two and a half parts cereal; this way, proteins are properly complemented, enhancing their assimilation. This legume can also be used to prepare other delicious recipes, such as traditional hummus or chickpea pâté, very popular in the Middle East, or falafel, fried balls made of chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro.
