Nutrition Nugget: Chickpeas

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about chickpeas. Chickpeas are packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and are a great option to have on hand. They are excellent for brain health, iron deficiency, and colon health! Pair chickpeas with quinoa to create a complete protein, and as a great base for a variety of meals. Chickpeas are also a nutritious option on salads, in soups, roasted for a crunchy snack, and as a hummus. But you might need to be careful with how much you have! Plus, if your digestive system is sensitive to beans, you can also soak dried beans before eating! Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes; new releases every Wednesday.  Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?  Submit it here: https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/index.php/contact/
