The debate over canned versus dried chickpeas has a surprisingly undramatic answer: Both are nutritionally strong. The differences are modest, and neither form matters as much as how you prepare them.
“Canned and dried chickpeas are relatively similar in terms of their total calories, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, and protein content,” Jenna Volpe, a registered dietitian and a functional gut health dietitian, told The Epoch Times. Canned and dried chickpeas are broadly comparable from a macronutrient standpoint, Volpe added, with small differences in protein and fiber.
