Black chickpea or kala chana is popularly known as a good source of protein. It can be added to your daily diet to control diabetes and blood sugar. Chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber, both of which aid weight loss. Fibre keeps you fuller for longer and protein satiates hunger. The fiber content in it also takes good care of your digestive system.
