Chickpeas are abundant in various essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6, which are crucial for good health. They can reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation. Moreover, chickpeas are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from hummus to curries, salads, and soups.
