At the Kabab House in Kissimmee, we are quite famous for our delicious kebabs and our savory shawarma dishes. Our savory halal meat is marinated and cooked just right for the perfect flavor and tenderness. However, today, we would like to discuss another delicious item on the menu at our family-friendly restaurant: our falafel sandwich. The main ingredient in falafels are chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. Garbanzo beans include a wide variety of health benefits in which we would like to further explore today:
Popular Worldwide
Chickpeas are consumed in a variety of delicious cuisine worldwide. Indian food includes chickpeas in their spicy curry dishes, and Spanish fare includes chickpeas in their savory soups. Chickpeas are also one of the main ingredients in delicious, tangy hummus. These delicious garbanzo beans have some truly wonderful health benefits.
Great For Helping Weight Loss
When trying to lose weight, you have to reduce the amount of calories that you consume, which can be incredibly difficult. When people are cutting back on calories, they can experience debilitating hunger pains, causing them to binge on food. Just one cup of chickpeas includes 30 percent of your daily protein, half of your daily fiber, and only has 269 calories. The combination of high levels of protein and fiber help leave you feeling full, so you can kiss those hunger pains goodbye.
Lowers Cholesterol Levels
Eating the right amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber help lower your cholesterol levels, and chickpeas are abundant in both types of fiber. Two cups of chickpeas contain your entire daily requirement for dietary fiber, so eat up!
