Chickpea powder and blood sugar
-
Australian researchers saw in 2005 that chickpea flour has a blood sugar leveling effect. In the study, the participants were not ill. A group of 12 participants was given regular bread and another group was given bread with chickpea flour. It turned out that the latter group showed fewer spikes in blood sugar. The researchers hope that more scientists will investigate this phenomenon so that more definitive conclusions can be drawn from the findings.

Chickpea flour as milk powder substitute
-
Mexican research from 1987 shows that you can make an excellent milk that is lactose-free with chickpea flour. The researchers just thought that it should be made with an extra amino acid; methionine. Then the chickpea milk would work well in malnourished children with lactose intolerance. You can easily make chickpea milk yourself by boiling the flour with water and letting it cool again. Realize that it is never good to use something daily, for months on end. Alternation with rice milk, almond milk or oatmeal milk is recommended if you want to make your own vegan milk.
