how much protein in 50 gm black chana - #23840
I am really curious about how much protein in 50 gm black chana because I just started incorporating it into my diet for health reasons. A few weeks ago, I started feeling sluggish and low on energy, and a friend suggested adding black chana since it's packed with nutrients. I've been eating black chana mostly as snacks or in salads! Last week I measured out 50 gm to see how much I could get and was blown away by the taste — but I have no clue how much protein that portion actually contains. Sometimes I worry I'm not getting enough protein since I'm kinda cutting back on meat. I read somewhere that legumes like black chana are a good source, but how much protein in 50 gm specifically? I can't find clear info online, and sometimes it feels like a guessing game. My goal is to boost my protein intake but also make sure I'm not overdoing carbs! If anyone knows the exact number or has an idea, I'd really appreciate it. Also, should I soak them or prepare them a certain way to up the protein or absorb it better? Thanks a million!
