KABULI CHANA USLI

 As all of us know the health benefits of  chana, I would like to refresh it once more.
Kabuli chana also known as Garbanzo beans  belongs to legume family or pulses. They are excellent source of  Fiber, Iron, Folate, Protein, Copper, manganese and Phosphorous.A high intake of these minerals will surely keep u away from osteoporosis, diabetes, anemia, and arthritis.

Adult women need 46 grams of protein each day, while men should have 56 grams. A 1-cup serving of kala chana has 14.5 grams of protein, which would supply a woman with 31 percent of her daily protein needs and a man with 26 percent of his daily protein needs.

Kala chana is a good source of  Vitamin b6 and 1 cup of  kala chana meets more than 50% of  the daily requirement of  Iron, Copper, Protein, and Minerals. They are excellent for weight loss diet. Salad with chickpeas are tasty and keeps u full longer.
