Kala Chana

Description

Kala Chana, whole black chickpeas, serves as a protein staple eaten every day and a sacred offering during Navratri, Janmashtami and other fasting rituals.
Hariom Kala Chana is sourced as premium-quality whole black chickpeas, prized for their firm bite, earthy nuttiness and the kind of dense, satisfying texture that holds up beautifully through long cooking.

Nutritionally, kala chana sits near the top of the pulses category as it carries a notably lower glycaemic index than kabuli chana, making it a favoured choice for people managing blood sugar.
It is also rich in dietary fibre, plant-based protein and iron, qualities that have made it a traditional remedy for anaemia in households for generations.
Soaked overnight and sprouted, kala chana becomes even more nutrient-available, which is why it's a breakfast staple in health-focused Indian kitchens from Mumbai to Chennai.
