"Chickpeas are a great source of fibre! As a nation we generally do not get enough fibre in our diets, we should be aiming for 30g a day, and it is hugely important. Fibre can support digestion by providing ‘roughage’ to keep our bowel movements regular as well as supporting a healthy gut.
Chickpeas are also a great plant-based source of protein which is essential for maintaining muscle strength and repair."
"Tahini is actually a paste made from sesame seeds which are a source of a phytoestrogen called lignans, which are plant compounds that has a similar chemical structure to oestrogen"
"Even in small quantities garlic can provide some powerful antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties that can be beneficial for our overall health and wellbeing.
Garlic is also a prebiotic, which is a fermentable carbohydrate that feeds the good bacteria in our gut, this then produces by products that are beneficial for our immune system and gut health. "
"Similarly, to garlic, manuka honey hosts a range of benefits for our health as it holds anti-microbial, antiviral, and antibacterial properties making it a great product!"
