Nutrition in chickpeas
Did you know that just one cup of cook chickpeas has over 12 grams of fiber? Better yet, they contain both soluble fiber and insoluble fiber, the latter of which helps lower LDL cholesterol.
In addition, each cup of garbanzo beans packs a whopping 12 grams of protein!
There are so many benefits to these little legumes. Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber, iron, zinc, phosphorus, B vitamins and more.
With so many vitamins and nutrients, chickpeas are a powerhouse of nutrition.

This sounds/looks delicious. It’s winter; where many of us reside gathering fresh spinach is not an option. For me, replacing spinach with frozen, organic greens would be the change. Yes, defrosting and squeezing out the liquid first before adding to the soup goes w/o saying.
