Chickpeas

Chickpeas, commonly known in India as Kabuli Chana, are a versatile legume widely used to prepare iconic dishes like the Punjabi classic Chhole Bhature. Available in both whole and flour forms, Kabuli Chana is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, making it a staple for a healthy lifestyle. It is also rich in zinc, folate, and protein, with minimal fat content—most of which is polyunsaturated. These qualities make chickpeas a favored carbohydrate source for individuals with insulin sensitivity or diabetes.

In India, chickpeas thrive in moderately heavy soils, with Madhya Pradesh being the leading producer. The harvest season primarily begins in February, positioning India as one of the top global producers of chickpeas, alongside countries like Australia, Turkey, Myanmar, Mexico, and Canada. The region’s high-quality yield drives a robust export market, meeting global demand for this nutrient-rich legume.

Chickpeas are known by various names, such as Bengal Gram, Dalia, and Kabuli Chana. They are a staple in diverse culinary applications—used in vegetables, salads, snacks, soups, sweets, and condiments. In the Middle East, they are famously consumed as Hummus. Regular consumption of chickpeas has been linked to benefits like reduced cholesterol levels, diabetes prevention, and improved heart health, thanks to their rich fiber, folic acid, and manganese content.
