Great Garbanzos

Garbanzo beans, also called chickpeas, are great with regards to their amazing nutritional content, the potential for weight-control and chronic disease control, and culinary versatility. Incredibly high in fiber, only two cups of garbanzo beans provide the entire daily recommendation of fiber for women, and a little less than three cups for men! It gets better: in a recent study, two groups of participants received about 28 grams of fiber per day; one group received dietary fiber primarily from garbanzo beans, and the other group received their fiber from entirely different dietary sources.
