Chickpea
Chickpea is high in FODMAPs, Oligosaccharides and Nickel. It also contains moderate levels of Oxalates. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsHigh
legumes are high in FODMAP from galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which humans cannot digest. Canned, well-rinsed legumes are lower in FODMAP than dried-then-boiled ones because GOS leaches into the water, and a small portion is usually tolerated.
- OligosaccharidesHigh
- NickelHigh
- OxalatesModerate
legumes are moderately high in oxalates; soaking them well and cooking in plenty of water, then draining it, lowers the oxalate. Pairing them with a calcium source lowers oxalate absorption too.

Which intolerances does chickpea affect?
chickpea is notable for FODMAPs, Oligosaccharides, Nickel and Oxalates.
Does chickpea contain FODMAPs?
Yes — chickpea is high in FODMAPs. legumes are high in FODMAP from galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which humans cannot digest. Canned, well-rinsed legumes are lower in FODMAP than dried-then-boiled ones because GOS leaches into the water, and a small portion is usually tolerated.
Does chickpea contain Oligosaccharides?
Yes — chickpea is high in Oligosaccharides.
Does chickpea contain Nickel?
Yes — chickpea is high in Nickel.
Does chickpea contain Oxalates?
chickpea contains moderate levels of Oxalates. legumes are moderately high in oxalates; soaking them well and cooking in plenty of water, then draining it, lowers the oxalate. Pairing them with a calcium source lowers oxalate absorption too. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
