Nutritional Benefits: Chickpeas rank low in the glycemic index and are rich in amylose, a slow-digesting starch that helps prevent spikes in blood sugar, thus helping control diabetes. They also contain raffinose, an oligosaccharide that gets fermented in your gut by good bacteria to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation in the large intestine. Chickpeas are endowed with sitosterol, which has a similar structure to the cholesterol in your body that helps lower bad cholesterol. Its high fiber content also slows digestion, helps you stay full longer, and therefore aid in weight loss.
