Canned Chickpeas

Canned Chickpeas

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) are pre-cooked legumes preserved in water and salt, offering a convenient protein and fiber source for quick meal preparation. While softer in texture than home-cooked dried chickpeas, they retain their nutty flavor and firm structure, making them ideal for salads, stews, or blended into hummus. Draining and rinsing reduces sodium content by up to 40%, addressing a key nutritional consideration for this pantry staple.
