Health Benefits
High in fiber and great source of protein, chickpeas are a healthy addition to your diet. Helps to lower cholesterol and improve sugar levels. Of course the tomatoes are full of antioxidants and are excellent for digestion. The scent of basil gets my mouth watering, especially when paired with the tomato.
