Ciecierzyca gotowana (z puszki lub słoika)

Description

Canned or jarred chickpeas have a creamy, slightly nutty flavor and a firm yet soft texture, usually in a beige hue. They are a rich source of plant-based protein and fiber, containing complex carbohydrates, folic acid, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins; regular consumption supports satiety, gut health, stabilization of blood sugar levels, and heart lipid profile. They work well in hummus, salads, soups, curries, stews, spreads, and baked snacks, pairing nicely with olive oil, lemon, tahini, herbs, and spices. Canned chickpeas are convenient — it’s advisable to drain and rinse them before use to reduce sodium content. Store opened chickpeas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months; the texture may change slightly after thawing.
