So why is it good for you?

Chickpeas are a great source of plant based protein and are high in fibre so not only help you to keep fuller for longer but they also help your digestive system.

Turmeric and cumin help fight against inflammation plus turmeric helps to lower cholesterol.

Garlic and onion boost immunity and promote heart health and garlic also helps to lower blood pressure.

Tomatoes also promote heart health and aside from being an excellent source of vitamin C, they ALSO reduce inflammation.
