They say big things come in small packages. This is so true when talking about chickpeas. The tiny food is healthy in many ways. It is high in protein and fiber, low in cholesterol and fats, and on top of that it even helps improve your skin!
How does it improve your skin exactly?Well, according to Allison Tannis, author of “Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles”, manganese folate and molybdenum all play an important role in promoting healthy skin. Conveniently, all those minerals are just so happen to be found in chickpeas. Manganese produces energy that fights wrinkle-causing free-radical damage. Molybdenum detoxes the skin by aiding in the removal of sulfites, a food preservative that causes damage to skin. Folate is a B vitamin which is essential for healthy skin since it adds fuel for the skin cells and helps fight sun damage and toxins.
