Happy Garbanzo Bean Day

QSR reports that,


October 21 is Garbanzo Bean Day, and Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill is honoring this occasion by celebrating the garbanzo bean and its many achievements. Some of these include providing outstanding health benefits, being part of a popular and healthy food movement—the Mediterranean diet—and acquiring a following of loyal Garbanzo Very Important Bean (VIB) members.

Recent studies have linked garbanzo beans and a Mediterranean diet with numerous health benefits, such as improved heart health, reduced risk of diabetes and dementia, decreased risk for stomach cancer, and even a lessened appearance of wrinkles.
