Nutritional properties
Chickpeas are rich in proteins of excellent food quality (about 20%) and an ideal source of fats important for health, but without cholesterol. Rich in fiber, they are also an exceptional source of B complex vitamins, mineral salts and tocopherols, very powerful biological antioxidants. The properties of these legumes are really many and far between. The phytosterols contained in the seed have shown anti-ulcerative, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. They protect heart health thanks to their soluble fiber content, which contributes to the reduction of total cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol, LDL, with a preventive effect towards the onset of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Saponins, of which these seeds are rich, also have the property of reducing cholesterol.
