Chickpeas are such a powerful food—- loaded with protein, a slow burning carb which mitigates the rise in blood sugar. It also contributes to the production of serotonin in the brain which contributes to a feeling of calmness and aids in a restful sleep. You can use them right out of the can in salads (delicious), roast them with a little olive oil and they make great “nuts” or adds a crunch factor to salads. Hummus, of course. Chickpea flour (you can grind your own) is used by many cultures as a thickener. I sauté radish leaves or dandelion leaves in a little olive oil or ghee and sprinkle in a little chickpea flour and spices — just like my East Indian neighbor taught me. Fabulous.

I love chickpeas! I use the water leftover from a can of chickpeas to coat my baked potatoes it helps my seasoning stick when I bake my tators. Salads with chickpeas are the bomb! I make my own flour to make an eggless omelet. I agree these are the gem of the beans and legumes list!

Roasted chickpeas are amazing! I use them often. Really good mixed with fresh sautéed asparagus.
