Chinese and Australian scientists found out in studies that chickpeas can bring the blood sugar level into balance: The pulses contain a large amount of digestive fibre that keeps blood sugar levels low and ensures long lasting satiety. At the same time, attacks of ravenous appetite are prevented.

Capers are part of everyday cooking in Mediterranean countries. Here the pickled flower buds are rather a delicacy and are appreciated for their tangy, pleasantly bitter and slightly hot taste. Pickled capers can be kept in the refrigerator for some time as long as they are covered with liquid.
