Nourishment Notes

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are rich in both insoluble and soluble fiber, but the high insoluble fiber content helps with relieving constipation. Chickpeas are also a great source of folate, an important nutrient for cell growth.

Bell Pepper

Most vegetable skins, such as those on a bell pepper, are a good source of insoluble fiber. Peppers also contain vitamin C, important to immune health.

Cherry Tomatoes

The skin of vegetables is a good source of insoluble fiber. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene to help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower inflammation.
