Evaluation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) micronutrient composition: Biofortification opportunities to combat global micronutrient malnutrition

2012-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a nutritious pulse crop primarily produced for human consumption. The present study was carried out to determine the potential for mineral micronutrient biofortification of chickpea to improve human micronutrient nutrition. Our results using 10 commercially grown USA chickpea genotypes show that chickpea is a rich source of selenium (Se=15.3–56.3μg/100g), iron (Fe=4.6–6.7mg/100g),...
