Fiber
Chickpeas are legumes filled with fiber that are metabolized by bacteria in the colon to produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetic, propionic, and butyric acid. These SCFAs provide energy to the cells that make up your intestinal wall, supporting the energy needs of the cells within your intestine. These SCFAs prevent digestive problems and lower your risk of colon cancer.
