Chickpeas
Chickpeas have been grown and eaten in Middle Eastern countries for thousands of years.
Their nutty taste and grainy texture pair well with many other foods and ingredients.
As a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, chickpeas may offer a variety of health benefits, such as aiding weight management, improving digestion, and reducing your risk of disease.
Lentils
Lentils are a plentiful source of fiber, folic acid, and potassium. These nutrients all support heart health.
Lentils add essential vitamins, mineral and fiber to the diet. They also provide protein and are an excellent replacement for meat in meals.
The low levels of readily digestible starch (5 percent) and high levels of slowly digested starch make the lentils of potential value to people with diabetes.
