Notes
Nutrition Nugget: Did you know that the garbanzo bean is actually called a chickpea! The garbanzo bean/chickpea is part of the legume family. Just one small tablespoon of chickpeas packs in almost 3 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein. Chickpeas also have iron, vitamin B-6, and Magnesium. Overall, they are a powerhouse of nutrients. Add them to salads, pastas and soups to give a quick nutrition boost!
