FAQs

Can you use butter beans instead of chickpeas? ›

Perhaps the best substitute for chickpeas across the board is white beans. They have both a similar taste and look to chickpeas. Any white bean will do, including cannellini beans (white kidney beans), lima beans (butter beans), great northern beans, and navy beans.

Lentils (green, yellow, brown or red)

Lentils have similar health benefits to chickpeas, including high levels of protein and fiber. They also have a similar earthy taste. Lentils work best as a chickpea replacement in stews and curries. However, they do not work well for baking and do not blend up well into dips.

Anywhoo, let's make some Homemade Baked Falafel WITHOUT Chickpeas. First, place the almonds, hemp hearts, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and sea salt in your food processor. Process for 10 seconds until chopped up and mealy. Add the egg, coconut oil, and parsley.

Given that soy-free tofu is primarily made with chickpea flour and water, you can expect the nutrition to be fairly advantageous. Like soy-based tofu, this varietal is naturally gluten-free. It's also very low in total fat and contains no saturated or trans fats.

Navy beans also make a pretty good alternative to butter beans. Despite their name, the legumes are white. Though they're a little smaller than butter beans, the two share a similar buttery, creamy taste and texture. They have a slight earthiness to them and make a great swap for butter beans in stews and soups.

Black beans are slightly higher in fiberthan the other two choices and provide some extra magnesium, butgarbanzo beans (chickpeas) are a little higher in the B vitaminfolate.

Cannellini Beans

Also known as white kidney beans, they're one of the best alternatives to chickpeas. You'll find that cannellini beans have the same mild nutty taste and creamy texture. And with a similar visual appearance, it may even seem like these beans are identical!

Cooked lentils have fewer calories than cooked chickpeas. If you want to lose weight, both are great options. However, you can eat more lentils than chickpeas for the same amount of weight gained. Calories measure the amount of energy in food.

The honest answer—there's no difference between chickpeas and garbanzo beans. They're just two (of many) different names for the same type of pulse. (Pulses are basically seeds of legume plants.)

Carlin Peas are traditionally eaten as Parched Peas in Lancashire, simply boiled up and eaten with vinegar and salt. They make an excellent British-grown substitute for chickpeas. Also try our "Black Badger" Carlin Peas and canned Carlin Peas in Water, cooked and ready to use.

The Formula. Three tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to about one whole egg, while two tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to about one egg white. Keep in mind that a can of chickpeas yields about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of this liquid, so about eight to 12 tablespoons.

Is Falafel Vegan? Since falafel is prepared with chickpeas, herbs, spices and alliums, it is vegan. However, falafel is sometimes served in wraps which may not be vegan, or with yogurt- or dairy-based sauces, so be sure to seek out vegan-friendly accompaniments.

You can eat at least one serving (28 grams) of chickpeas per day. However, don't eat more than 70 grams a day since that can cause adverse side effects. If you consume too many chickpeas, some side effects you may get include bloating, nausea, and gas. It's important to remember that chickpeas should not be eaten raw.

No, chickpeas aren't considered inflammatory. Most healthcare providers consider chickpeas to be an anti-inflammatory food. This means they can help fight harmful inflammation in your body. They're also high in fiber and a good source of protein.

Chickpeas are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats and have a low GI. Potential benefits of chickpeas include helping control blood sugar, manage weight, and support heart and gut health. Chickpeas are versatile, so you can add them to many savory or sweet meals and snacks.

Butter beans are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are important for overall health. A source of potassium, magnesium, folate, iron, and zinc, they also contain calcium and protein. Both plant-based foodies and meat-lovers can really benefit from adding butter beans to their diet.

I recommend using black beans instead of chickpeas. They are similar to chickpeas in having a mild flavor, and you can prepare the hummus in exactly the same way. You can also make hummus with Cannellini beans or green peas. And if you want more flavor just add garlic and tahini sauce to the mix.

You'll see them labeled in different ways in the store, after all: frozen lima beans, canned butter beans, dried large limas—or is it dried large butter beans? Turns out, lima beans and butter beans are the same thing. Both terms refer to the same species, Phaseolus lunatus.
