This vegan meatloaf is a scrumptious option to add to your dinner table. The mixture of chickpeas, flaxseeds, cooked vegetables, and breadcrumbs gives it a hearty texture while providing a lot of protein, fibre, and added nutrients.
One of the recipe’s key ingredients is flaxseed powder, which gives the recipe proper binding and texture. Flaxseed is one of the oldest crops being grown from the beginning of civilisation. Flaxseed is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. It reduces inflammation. It is also very helpful to cut down the amount of cholesterol in your blood vessel. It reduces the risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke.
Flaxseed is also full of fibre. It is one of the very few foods that contain both soluble & insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre absorbs the water in the intestine, rectifies the blood sugar level, and lowers bad cholesterol. While insoluble fibre improves your gut health by ensuring bowel consistency and alleviating constipation.
Flaxseed helps prevent insulin resistance and thus manages blood sugar levels making it helpful with type 2 diabetes. And if you are aiming to control your weight, then flaxseed can be a magic food. It slows down the digestive system and makes you feel “full” for longer.
Another key element of this recipe is Chickpea, a super-rich source of vegan protein. It is also rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, manganese, folate, and vitamin C & vitamin B6. It helps to build muscle mass, improves the health of the body cells and develops bone health. It also helps to manage your blood sugar level while taking care of your heart health. Chickpea is also a great skin and hair anti-aging food.
