NCT ID NCT06758869
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how eating chickpeas in different forms—whole, pureed (like hummus), or as flour (like pasta)—affects how the body uses energy. Researchers will measure fat, carbohydrate, and protein burning in 204 healthy adults over 12 weeks. The goal is to understand if processing changes the health benefits of pulses.
