But that’s not all. Here are some more health benefits that you should know about:

There are a whole host of nutritional benefits, prevention from diseases, weight loss, increased energy and a longer life. We can assure you that our Truede Chickpeas are friendly for vegans.

Gluten Free

The most common reason for a gluten free diet in the UK is coeliac disease, which affects around 1 in 100 people. It is also estimated that 500,000 people are going undiagnosed. But there are other reasons why you would decide to go gluten free, and we at Truede wanted to cater for that.
