Beans, chick peas, Kabuli, whole, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Chickpeas are pulses. These figures describe whole dried Kabuli chickpeas that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate, fibre and plant protein. Per 100g, they contain 18g of carbohydrate, 11g of fibre and 8.4g of protein, with an energy content of 547 kJ.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Chickpeas also provide minerals including iron, magnesium and potassium. As these chickpeas were cooked without salt, their salt content differs from versions prepared with added salt or salty sauces. Ingredients added during preparation can also change the energy and fat content. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
