Snack time / What's Leblebi!?

If you work in a office and you feel a little bit hungry at your snack time you can imagine something to eat. Then you may want to eat something with high calories like candies, biscuits or chocolates but don’t forget that sugar threats our healty. We have to decrease these unhealty snacks if possible. Maybe you can preffer fruit or dried fruit. They includes sugar too but natural at least. I offer you our healty favorite: Roasted Chickpea. A half-cup of unsalted roasted chickpea includes only 134 calories and it keeps you satisfied.

Today I and my colleagues have eaten yellow roasted chickpea called Leblebi. Do you know what it is? If the answer is no you can read my essay about it.
Roasted chickpea is a kind of dried food. It is very popular in Asia especially Middle Earth. It’s original form is used in meals. Meaty chickpeas over rice is my favorite. Probably you may heard humus.
You can buy the best Roasted chickpea in Corum in Turkey. Also it would be a good gift. I know it’s hard to think chickpea as a gift but if you look at the picture you will understand me.

As you see there are sorts of leblebi. The mouthwatering flavors are sesame soy, honey cinnamon, honey sesame, garlic parmesan, chocolate, colored sugary, white sugary, salted, spicy, tiramisu, mastic gum and more..
