Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) have a Nutrivore Score of 454, which makes them a high nutrient-dense food! Per serving, chickpeas are a best source (>50% daily value) of manganese and vitamin B9 (folate); an excellent source (20-50% daily value) of copper, polyphenols, and vitamin B7 (biotin); and a good source (10-20% daily value) of dietary fiber, iron, protein, vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and zinc.

A staple of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and a key ingredient in Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisine, chickpeas are versatile, budget-friendly, and most importantly, packed with flavor! Conveniently available canned or dried, this is one popular legume worth incorporating into our diet!

As stated above, chickpeas are a best source of manganese, providing a whopping 371% of the daily value per 1/2-cup serving!

Manganese is an essential mineral that serves as a cofactor and component of numerous enzymes. Through these roles, it’s involved in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, detoxification, lipid processing, free radical defense, bone and collagen formation, and wound healing. Although the research so far is limited, some evidence suggests that manganese can protect against osteoporosis and diabetes, and may even be involved in seizure disorders.

When constructing a Nutrivore meal think of...

NUTRIENT-DENSE PROTEINS: Choose fish, shellfish, and organ meat for proteins more often; seek the highest-quality meat you have access to and can afford (grass-fed or pasture-raised, organic).

TONS OF VEGGIES:
Aim for at least three servings per meal to hit your eight-a day minimum.

EATING THE RAINBOW:
Choose vegetables of different colors.

MIXING UP RAW VERSUS COOKED:
Vary the way you prepare your vegetables.

SLOW-BURNING CARBS:
Choose starchy roots and tubers.

PHYTOCHEMICAL-RICH FRUITS:
Options like berries and citrus pack more antioxidant bang for your buck.

NUTS AND SEEDS AS CONDIMENTS:
Aim for up to 1 ounce of nuts and seeds per day.

CHOOSING HIGH-QUALITY FATS FOR COOKING AND DRESSING:
Use rendered fats from grass-fed or pasture-raised animals, high-quality cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, or grass-fed butter or ghee.

ADDING A PROBIOTIC FOOD:
Think of raw sauerkraut or pickles as a probiotic boost to your meal.

USING FRESH HERBS AND SPICES WHENEVER POSSIBLE:
Fresh herbs and spices not only provide tons of flavor and variety, but also are packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals.

COOKING AT HOME MOST OF THE TIME:
Take control of your food quality by committing to cooking your meals yourself; when eating out, choose healthier options like farm-to-table restaurants.

AVOIDING GETTING IN A RUT:
Aim for a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, cuts of meat, types of seafood, and so on.

Did you know that the same compounds responsible for the color of your vegetables are also nutrients? This is why you will often hear me say that “eating the rainbow” is a very valid strategy to help achieve nutrient sufficiency!
For example, the vegetables richest in carotenoids (like α- and β-carotene) include anything red, orange, yellow, or dark green, which includes carrots, beets, squash, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, collard greens, and broccoli.

Red vegetables, like tomatoes, radicchio and radishes, are also rich in lycopene and anthocyanins (or betalains, in the case of beets – fun fact, anthocyanins and betalains, both deep red pigmented phytonutrients, are never found in the same food!). Anthocyanins can also be found in vegetables with blue and purple colors, as can anthocyanidins, including purple varieties of cauliflower, kale, carrots and purple sweet potatoes.

Orange and yellow vegetables are also rich in β-cryptoxanthin. Yellow vegetables are additionally rich in xanthophylls. Green veggies provide chlorophyll, glucosinolates, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

And don’t think that white veggies, like mushrooms, turnips and white onions, are devoid of these beneficial phytonutrients; they are rich sources of anthoxanthins and organosulfur compounds.

These phytonutrients have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to many of them also having anticancer, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective properties! In fact, these amazing pigment phytonutrients are largely responsible for the health benefits of a diet abounding in veggies and fruits. In fact, for every serving of fresh, whole vegetables or fruit we eat daily, risk of all-cause mortality (a measurement of overall health and longevity) reduces by 5% to 8%.
