The rare black chickpea is a real treasure as part of a health-conscious diet. The high content of protein, fibre and complex carbohydrates keeps you feeling satisfied for a long time. It's also high in iron and vitamins B, C, K, and E. It is smaller and more irregular in shape than other traditional varieties and has a strong, aromatic taste. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks already appreciated its nutritional benefits. It is a delicacy in the Mediterranean region and is added to salads and soups or eaten as a side dish.
