La Bio Idea Organic Chickpeas

Description:
La Bio Idea Organic Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) are a highly nutritious legume, offering a superb balance of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which promotes satiety and aids digestive health. They have a low glycemic index and help regulate blood sugar levels. Chickpeas are rich in folate, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium, supporting energy production, bone health, and heart health, making them a foundational ingredient in many healthy recipes. 

Prepared responsibly, they align with Larutan’s wholesome pantry values.

Typical Use:
Dried chickpeas require soaking overnight (at least 8 hours) to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. Drain the soaking water and boil them in fresh water for 1 to 2 hours until tender. Canned chickpeas are pre-cooked and only require a thorough rinse. Once prepared, they can be used to make hummus, added to salads, stews, curries, or roasted in the oven with spices for a crunchy snack.
