                                A 1-cup (164-gram) serving of cooked chickpeas, or boiled chana, contains a surprisingly low 7–8 grams of total sugar, which is significantly lower than many fruits and processed foods. While boiled chana contains a small amount of naturally occurring sugar, its high fiber and protein content make it an excellent choice for regulating blood sugar and promoting satiety.
