What it is

Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are a type of legume. They are typically cooked before being used in food products, which softens them and makes them easier to digest. The term 'organic' means they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Cooked garbanzo beans are often used as a source of protein and fiber in vegetarian and vegan dishes. They can be mashed into dips like hummus, added whole to salads and soups, or used as a base for veggie burgers.

Health notes

Garbanzo beans are a nutrient-dense food, providing fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. Dietary fiber, found in abundance in garbanzo beans, is associated with digestive health benefits. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated garbanzo beans as a food additive, as they are a whole food.

Allergen info

Garbanzo beans are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
