5 Ways With Chickpeas For Children
3 Reasons I Like My Kids Eating Chickpeas
1 | Chickpeas are Nutritious
High in protein and fibre, they also contribute micronutrients such as calcium, iron, selenium and magnesium to the diet.
Most of the fibre in chickpeas is insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre has been found to have many health benefits including: Improved digestion, protection from bowel cancer and blood sugar control.
2 | Chickpeas are Cheap
Chickpeas are really economical so having a chickpea based meal is a really great way to keep food costs down
3 | Chickpeas are Easy
You can buy good quality canned chickpeas, if you drain and rinse them (to remove the brine) they make a super quick and convenient food. No mess, no chopping, no prep.
This makes chickpea based meals a fantastic option for the 5pm panic! In fact canned chickpeas are one of my top 5 Foods That Come in a Packet.
