Chickpeas

Chickpeas have always been a staple of Lucanian culinary tradition.

One of the most famous dishes is "Lagane e Ceci", a typical first course whose unique, simple, and wholesome flavor has long showcased the authentic taste of Lucanian chickpeas.

But beyond their taste, chickpeas are rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as essential minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and zinc.

They also help regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes.

Additionally, chickpeas are known for their diuretic properties, supporting the elimination of excess salts from the body.
