They're a great source of iron, magnesium, folate and phosphorus and also contain vital vitamins such as vitamin C and B, making them a rich source of antioxidants. Just one cup of chickpeas roughly provides 14.5 grams of protein, 12.5 grams of fiber, 4.2 grams of fat and a whopping 84% manganese. Chickpeas are a complex carbohydrate which means the body digests them slowly and more energy is sustained. Thanks to their high fiber content, chickpeas help boost digestive health.
