Saffron Road Crunchy Chickpeas, Sea Salt & Black Pepper, 5.4 Oz. (Pack of 6)

Saffron Road Crunchy Chickpeas — Sea Salt & Black Pepper | Pack of 6 (5.4 oz)

Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) are nutritionally distinct from most snack ingredients: they contain roughly 19–20g of protein per 100g dried, 17g of fiber (including resistant starch), and a remarkably low glycemic index of approximately 28 — meaning blood glucose rises slowly and steadily compared to most snack foods. The resistant starch in chickpeas resists digestion in the small intestine and reaches the colon largely intact, where Bifidobacterium and other beneficial bacteria ferment it into short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, acetate). Saponins in the chickpea seed coat have demonstrated cholesterol-binding activity in vitro. Saffron Road air-roasts chickpeas rather than deep-frying them — which means minimal oil uptake and no high-temperature oxidation of polyunsaturated fats. Sea salt and black pepper seasoning (piperine from black pepper is a bioenhancer that improves absorption of multiple nutrients). Gluten-free, vegan, certified kosher, non-GMO. Pack of 6 × 5.4 oz bags.

Key Benefits

• Protein (19–20g per 100g dried): One of the highest-protein legume snacks — far more than conventional potato or corn chips
• Low Glycemic Index (~28): Slow, stable blood glucose rise compared to most snack foods — sustained energy without the spike-and-crash
• Resistant Starch → SCFA Production: Fermented by Bifidobacterium in the colon into butyrate, propionate, and acetate — short-chain fatty acids that feed colonocytes and support gut health
• Air-Roasted, Not Deep-Fried: Minimal oil uptake; avoids the oxidized polyunsaturated fats generated by high-temperature deep-frying of seed oils
• Piperine (Black Pepper): Bioenhancer that improves absorption of curcumin, B vitamins, and other nutrients via CYP3A4/P-glycoprotein inhibition
• Gluten-Free | Vegan | Certified Kosher | Non-GMO | No Artificial Flavors | No Preservatives
• Pack of 6 × 5.4 oz: Case supply for desks, pantries, and snack drawers
