Chickpeas are a good source of protein. Combined with a whole grain such as whole-wheat protein, they
provide amount of protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods without the high calories or saturated
fats.
Garbanzos are an excellent source of the trace mineral manganese, which is an essential cofactor in a
number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses. Just one cup of garbanzo
beans supplies 84.5% of the daily value for this mineral
Garbanzos can boost your energy because of their high iron content. This is particularly important for
menstruating women, pregnant or lactating women and growing children. Iron is an integral component of
hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is part of key enzyme systems
for energy production and metabolism.
