Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
This salad is very easy and quick to prepare. Chickpeas do not have a very low carbohydrate content, but they do have the “good” carbs – with low glycemic index – and a lot of cholesterol-lowering fibre as well as vitamins and minerals, natural healthy fats and oils and a blend of enzymes.
Due to their low gycemic index (GI), the carbs in chick peas take longer time to digest, thus stimulating a gentler flow of insulin – in contrast to high GI carbs, which produce insulin peaks.
Chick peas do contain about 23% carbs (though mostly good ones), so the amount you can eat depends on your target daily carbohydrate intake.
