Garbanzos beans (Chickpeas) are a food you definitely want to keep on your "digestive support" list—especially if you are focusing on the colon.

Between 65-75% of the fiber found in garbanzo beans is insoluble fiber, and this type of fiber remains undigested all the way down to the final segment of your large intestine (colon). Recent studies have shown that garbanzo bean fiber can be metabolized by bacteria in the colon to produce relatively large amounts of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetic, propionic, and butyric acid. These SCFAs provide fuel to the cells that line your intestinal wall. By supporting the energy needs of our intestinal cells, the SCFAs made from garbanzo fibers can help lower your risk of colon problems, including your risk of colon cancer.

Most Chickpeas found in the grocery are cream-colored and relatively round. This type of garbanzo bean is called the "kabuli-type." Worldwide, there's a far more common type called the "desi-type." This second type of garbanzo bean is about half the size of cream-colored type and it's more irregular in shape.

The color is also different—varying from light tan to black. Researchers have recently determined that many of the antioxidants present in Chickpeas are especially concentrated in the outer seed coat that gives the beans their distinctive color. Darker-colored "desi-type" appear to have thicker seed coats and greater concentrations of antioxidants than the larger and more regularly shaped cream-colored.
