Chana (Chickpeas)

Chana (Chickpeas) โ€“ Indiaโ€™s Protein-Rich Pulse with Global Popularity

Chana, also known as chickpeas, is one of Indiaโ€™s most consumed and exported pulses. With a nutty flavor, firm texture, and high nutritional value, Indian chickpeas are widely used in curries, soups, salads, snacks, and flour (besan) production. Chickpeas are consumed in two main forms โ€“ Desi Chana (brown, smaller seeds) and Kabuli Chana (larger, cream-colored seeds), both in strong demand across international markets.

Rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as folate and iron, chickpeas are an excellent plant-based protein source, making them highly popular in vegetarian, vegan, and health-conscious diets. With India being one of the largest producers, chana has strong year-round export potential.
