1 piece (medium) of Chickpea cracker (20 g) has 82 calories. That works out to 410 calories per 100 g. It contains 12 g of carbs, 3.3 g of protein, 1.7 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 11% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A chickpea cracker is a thin, crisp snack made from chickpea flour or ground chickpeas mixed into a dough and baked or otherwise crisped. It is a modern legume-based cracker rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and is sold in many places as a savoury alternative to wheat-based crackers. Expect a lightly nutty, earthy flavour and a brittle, sometimes bubbled texture; seasoning varies by brand or recipe.
Enjoy it on its own, with tea, or alongside dips such as hummus and yoghurt-based sauces. Its protein and fibre make it a more substantial snack than a plain crisp, and it pairs well with fresh vegetables for a lighter plate.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Chickpea crackers are usually made with chickpea flour or chickpeas combined with other ingredients. Depending on the recipe, they may also contain oil, starch, seeds, salt, or seasonings, so the texture and flavor vary between products.
Chickpea crackers can be a convenient snack with fiber and plant protein, but that does not make every variety equally nutritious. Salt, added oil, and other ingredients vary, and crackers are best treated as a snack rather than a meal.
Chickpea crackers are usually more savory and chickpea-flavored, while rice cakes tend to have a milder taste and a puffed texture. The ingredients and crunch differ, so check the specific product rather than assuming all versions are alike.
They can cause gas or bloating in some people. Chickpeas and their fiber may be harder to tolerate for those sensitive to legumes; try a small serving first and notice how you feel.
They do not cause weight loss on their own, though their fiber and protein may help some people feel satisfied between meals. Keep portions in mind, since it is easy to eat several crackers without noticing.
Yes, chickpea crackers contain carbohydrates and can raise blood sugar; the effect varies with portion size and what you eat with them. If you have diabetes, fit them into your individual meal plan and ask your clinician or dietitian if needed.
Store chickpea crackers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Once exposed to air and moisture, they can lose their crispness, so seal the package promptly after serving.
Yes, you can make chickpea crackers at home by mixing chickpea flour with water and seasonings, rolling the dough thin, and baking it until crisp. Recipes differ, so baking time depends on thickness and your oven.
Chickpea crackers usually have a mild, savory, slightly earthy flavor. Plain versions let the chickpea taste come through, while seasoned varieties can be more strongly flavored; their thin, crisp texture is often a key part of their appeal.
Chickpea crackers pair well with hummus, bean dips, or yogurt-based spreads, and can be served alongside soup or cut vegetables. Their crisp texture also makes them useful for scooping thicker dips.
