Are chickpeas sustainable?
Chickpeas are good for you and good for the environment! They are a great source of protein and fiber and are also high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. Chickpeas also have a low carbon and water footprint. Chickpeas pull nitrogen from the air and store it in the soil instead of needing chemical fertilizers. When chickpeas are harvested, they leave the valuable nitrogen in the ground for the next generation of crops. Chickpeas also use a fraction of the water needed to raise other food protein sources. Chickpeas are nut free, gluten free, and vegetarian making them a great high-protein option for many different types of eaters!
