Konda Kadala Brown

Konda Kadala Brown – India’s Nutritionally Superior Chickpea

Konda Kadala (brown/desi chickpeas, kala chana) is the traditional Indian chickpea variety that predates the white kabuli chana. Smaller, darker, and nutritionally denser, this ancient legume is a superior choice for health-conscious consumers.

Research consistently shows that desi chickpeas have higher protein, fiber, and iron content than their larger white counterparts. The dark seed coat contains significantly more polyphenols and antioxidants.

Nutritional Advantages

• Higher protein content than kabuli chickpeas
• More iron per serving – excellent for anemia prevention
• Higher fiber content for gut health
• Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants from dark coat
• Lower glycemic index than white chickpeas

Use in sundal, curries, salads, roasted snacks, and traditional South Indian preparations. Sugabogam sources traditional Konda Kadala from trusted suppliers.
