Garbanzos Con Yelo (Sweetened U.S. Chickpeas With Ice and Milk)

Garbanzos Con Yelo (Sweetened Chickpeas With Ice and Milk)

I remember way back when I was a child, Sweetened U.S. Chickpeas (Minatamis na Garbanzos) is one of the most popular desserts and is even served during parties and special occasions. It is also one of my nanay’s favorite. I never cared for it nor did I like it. But now that I’m a grown-up, I loved U.S. Chickpeas more than ever. Especially when I had a family of my own. I make sure I serve one or two dishes per week that are made of U.S. Pulses.

What are Pulses?

Pulses are dry peas, lentils, chickpeas, and edible beans like kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans and black beans. Pulses are part of the Legumes family like peanuts and soy. They are packed with protein, fiber and essential nutrients. They are also a good alternative to meat and uses less water during production which makes it more environment-friendly.
Among these U.S. Pulses, U.S. Chickpeas has become a favorite and are mostly used in making savory dishes like Hummus, Falafel, and Callos.

Since it’s Summer and I’ve been thinking of my nanay lately, I thought I’d make her favorite but with a twist of my own. I like making my own Sweetened U.S. Chickpeas because I can control the sweetness and the tenderness of the beans. U.S. Chickpeas help a lot in controlling blood sugar so I don’t want to counter it by adding too much sugar.

Just in case you’re wondering what are the other health benefits of U.S. Chickpeas:

  • It’s a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
  • It helps in improving digestion.
  • It aids in weight management.
  • It is rich in protein.
  • It reduces the risk of several chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

and most of all — it is inexpensive and would be a nice addition to your menu rotation!
