How Chickpeas can broaden the nutrient profile of Black beans
See the added vitamin and mineral strengths from chickpeas, with all values shown per 100 g.
How this food broadens the profile
Starting with 100 g of black beans, the calculation highlights Manganese, Vitamin B6, Zinc among the main additions from 100 g of chickpeas.
Every reviewed food is compared independently with the starting food. Nutritionally similar foods are also shown separately for context. This is not an overall health ranking or a serving recommendation.

USDA records and method
Black beans
USDA description: beans, black, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt.
FoodData Central ID 173735Chickpeas
USDA description: chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt.
FoodData Central ID 173757Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, FoodData Central. Every record is a mature legume cooked or boiled without salt; canned and 0%-moisture records are excluded. FoodMaya pins the reviewed FDC IDs shown above so the selected records do not change silently.
FoodMaya converts each reported nutrient to a percent of the daily reference amount per 100 g, then compares foods using only vitamins and minerals reported for every reviewed food in beans. To find foods that broaden the profile, the calculation reduces the influence of very large amounts of any one nutrient. It then ranks each food by the pairwise Gram determinant: the squared area spanned by its transformed profile and the starting profile. A larger area reflects substantial nutrient amounts in a less redundant pattern. This page shows the highest-ranked candidate for the featured starting food.
The 100 g basis is for consistent comparison, not a suggested portion. USDA values can vary by variety, preparation, and storage. This narrow comparison omits protein, fiber, phytonutrients, bioavailability, allergies, cost, and personal medical needs; it is informational and not medical advice.
