Calculated with the values of the German food composition database BLS 4.0. Spoons are level, their weight comes from the USDA database, an egg counts as 50 g without shell. Seasonings to taste are not counted. Per 100 g refers to the weight of the ingredients before cooking.

## Good to know

- The drier the chickpeas are before roasting, the crunchier they get.
- They lose a lot of water when roasted. Per portion the values stay the same, per 100 g of finished chickpeas they are much higher.

**Storage:** Crunchy only on the first day. Leftovers in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, then they turn soft.

## Rather buy it ready-made?

- Roasted chickpeas also come in bags. Compare fat and salt per 100 g on the packet, some are fried.
