The chickpea spread is now found in almost every Israeli refrigerator, a happy fact considering that it is not only delicious, but also considered one of the healthiest foods.

Chickpea contains high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and iron, and dietary fiber that contributes to the feeling of satiety, making it suitable for diabetics and even helping to lower blood cholesterol levels.

The authentic chickpea spread consists of chickpeas (from the legume family), combined with tahini, olive oil, lemon and garlic - a list of ingredients that each have health benefits and are all included in the list of recommended foods in a Mediterranean diet, linked to longer life expectancy, better health and reduced disease Chronic, especially cardiovascular disease.

The healthiest choice: homemade chickpeas

Chickpeas are a healthy and nutritious choice, but when choosing industrial ready-made chickpeas, like the spread found in packaging in super refrigerators, all the positive ingredients are added to preservatives that we less want on our menu.

The solution: Make homemade chickpeas, and it doesn't even have to be complicated.

Homemade chickpeas are easy and quick to prepare: all it takes is to combine the chickpeas with the rest of the ingredients, put everything in the food processor and press the button.

Another advantage is that in home preparation you can fully control the content of the chickpeas, texture and taste - add any seasoning or topping you can imagine and create a chickpea that is individually tailored to your preferences.

If you are afraid of the long fuss with chickpeas, you should know that Shechin released a product at the beginning of the year called "chickpeas for making fine chickpeas."

Yachin's special chickpeas retain their nutritional values, are delicious and have already gone through the entire preliminary process: rinsing, long soaking and cooking and thus simply make life easier.

The grains are soaked in water for 16 hours and cooked slowly so that they become soft and ideal for making homemade chickpeas easily.

This trick will save you the prolonged soaking time of the dry grain, without compromising the nutritional values of the final product.

And it's important to know, they do not contain preservatives.

The homemade chickpeas that you make from Yachin's fine grains can be stored in the refrigerator for about three days and food waste reduced by preparing enough for this period of time and freezing the remaining grains.

Another option is to easily make a chickpea snack in the oven - a healthy, low-fat, protein-rich snack.

Finally, just give it a try!

Buy Yachin's chickpeas and try making homemade chickpeas, until you come to the perfect chickpea for your taste.

Use chickpeas as a seasoning for vegetables (cucumber, carrot, pepper) or as a substitute for mayonnaise in an egg or tuna salad and convert the regular pita into such whole grains (whole wheat, spelled).
