Summary

This product consists primarily of garbanzo beans, which are a nutritious legume rich in protein and fiber. However, it contains synthetic preservatives such as calcium disodium EDTA and sodium metabisulfite, which are used to maintain color and extend shelf life. These additives, while safe in small amounts, are not natural and contribute to the product's processing level, limiting its overall health score.
