Curry Powder

Okay, maybe there is more than one reason! Not only is it warm, tasty, and inviting, but it also provides powerful health benefits that you may not even know about.

Chickpeas Vs Garbanzo Beans?
Yes! This one bean has many different names depending on where in the world you are from. In most parts of the world, it is known as a chickpea, while some nations refer to the legume as a garbanzo bean.
Scientifically, they are the same plant. So, the next time you are at the store shopping for these beans, you’ll know that two names can mean the same thing!
Chickpeas are extremely high in protein and can add a lot of fiber to your diet. In this recipe, we show you how a can of chickpeas can be transformed into an entire delicious meal for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
