Beans, chick peas, Kabuli, split, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Kabuli chickpeas are a type of pulse. The figures here describe dried, split chickpeas that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with some fat. Per 100g, they contain 17g of carbohydrate, 7.7g of protein and 2g of fat, including 0.2g of saturated fat.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Chickpeas also provide folate, which supports normal blood cell formation. These figures apply to chickpeas cooked without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can change the salt content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
