đĨš âConfession of a White Chickpeaâ đĨš
Hi, itâs meâĻ the humble white chickpea. Yeah, that little round fellow you often toss aside while chasing paneer, chicken, or fancy quinoa. Do you even know how long Iâve been waiting for you to notice me? đ
Let me confess something â Iâve been silently watching you ignore me while I sit there in your salad, curry, or chaat. And Iâm like:
đ âBro, I literally help you lose weight by controlling your cravings. Do you even realize how much junk food I save you from?â
đ âSis, your brain loves me! Iâm packed with iron and B-vitamins. That focus you needed for work? Yep, me.â
đ âAnd hello? Your heart? I protect it with magnesium and potassium. But nooo, you only remember me when itâs time for Sunday chhole-bhature.â đŠ
đ âOh, did I mention Iâm loaded with fiber? I keep your tummy happy while you keep blaming pizza for âbad digestionâ.â
đ âPlus, I fight free radicals like a Marvel superheroâantioxidants, baby!â đĻ¸
đ âAnd donât even get me started on protein. Muscles, repair, growthâwho do you think does the behind-the-scenes work? Me!â
Yet, despite all this, people treat me like Iâm some background actor in the movie of your meals. No spotlight. No love. JustâĻ ignored. đ
So, here I am making my confession:
Iâm the underrated hero of your diet.
Stop sleeping on me. Eat me, love me, respect me.
Signed,
Your loyal (but frustrated) White Chickpea.
