Chickpea

It is an affordable source of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, folate, beta-carotene and health-promoting fatty acids. Scientific studies have provided some evidence to support the potential beneficial effects of chickpea components in lowering the risk of various chronic diseases, although information pertaining to the role of individual chickpea components in disease preventionand the mechanisms of action are limited to date. This is due to the complex nature of various causes of disease and various factors having an impact on their occurrence. It is imperative that the scientific community continues to unravel the mechanisms involved in disease prevention and determine how food bioactive from foods such as chickpea can…

which NaCl concentrated solution would allow the chickpeas to absorb the most solution. The course of the experiment was initially carried out over the course of 60 minutes, however the shorter time period did not permit the maximum water absorbance to be reached (i.e. a plateau of the graph). Therefore, the course of this experiment was carried out over 160 minutes, to observe the decrease in the rate of hydrolysis. Different concentrated NaCl solutions were used as the solutions that the…

Most people love to try new kinds of food and the rest of them has some type of food that they prefer to eat. For me it’s Persian food, I really like it, because they…

The hypothesis that rate of respiration of chickpeas is highest at room temperature is not supported by the data, although there was error in the data. The data from the lab showed rate of oxygen consumed to be the highest at 1.5 degrees Celsius with a rate of .0124ppt/min/g. At room temperature there was a rate of .0077ppt/min/g, and at the hottest temperature (95.6 degrees Celsius) a rate of -.0131ppt/min/g, meaning that oxygen was not consumed but actually increased in concentration in the…

I like to cook, it makes me happy. I don’t cook often, because I don’t have time. When I was a kid, I used to cook with my grandmother. She taught me everything about cooking. I like to cook for my dad and mom. This experience wasn’t different from any others. I learned from this experience how to cook chickpeas, because I never cooked it. I learned that vegetarian food is very tasty. I liked this experience, it was interesting for me. I like to try new cooking dishes. This dish was tasty,…

Falafel can be found everywhere in the world however it has been massively popular in North America because of the taste, easy to consume and a great source of protein especially for vegetarians or people…

What is a quality carbohydrate? Quality carbohydrates can be broken down into four major food groups: vegetables, grains, legumes and fruit. These foods need to be unprocessed or lightly processed or else they meander over into being considered highly processed foods, which we discussed in the previous chapter. So while it’s acceptable to make flour out of grains, legumes and fruits (chickpea flour, wheat flour, banana flour), it’s not okay to processes them to the point to which they are no…
