Wholesale Pedrosillano Chickpeas 500g - ORGANIC

The Pedrosillano chickpea is distinguished by its smaller size compared to the Castilian chickpea, but it is no less valued for that. In fact, it is highly appreciated in both traditional and modern cuisine thanks to its extremely thin skin, which gives it a very pleasant texture on the palate. One of its great culinary advantages is that it does not peel during cooking, maintaining its shape and consistency even in prolonged cooking. Nutritionally, it is a very complete legume. It stands out for its richness in complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy, as well as its content of vegetable proteins, essential for maintaining a balanced diet, especially for people who follow a diet without animal products. A peculiarity of chickpeas in general, which also applies to the Pedrosillano, is their high lipid content compared to other legumes. These lipids are mostly healthy fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic, known for promoting cardiovascular health. Additionally, the high dietary fiber content of this type of chickpea makes it a very beneficial food for digestive health, helping to regulate intestinal transit and maintain the proper functioning of the digestive system.
