10 High Protein Vegetables
High Protein Vegetable #2: Chickpeas
Chickpeas, like other beans are significantly high in protein. One cooked cup of chickpeas contains 15 grams of protein. This is about 26 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of protein for an average adult male. This means that including chickpeas in your diet can provide a substantial portion of the protein that your body needs to remain in good health.
Chickpeas also provide complex carbohydrates and fiber. Complex carbohydrates and fiber help keep you feeling full for longer which is a great thing if you want to shed some weight. Chickpeas also contain micronutrients like folate, and minerals like potassium, phosphorus, iron and manganese besides antioxidants.
