First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Chickpeas | Oats |
| Nutrient | chickpeas | oats |
| Protein | 11g | 9g |
| Carbohydrate | 33g | 34g |
| Fiber | 10g | 5g |
| Fat | 3g | 4g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 1g | 4g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 1g | 1g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 1g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | chickpeas | oats |
| Choline | 12% | 0% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 3% | 0% |
| Vitamin E | 4% | 5% |
| Vitamin K | 6% | 0% |
Chickpeas have significantly more Vitamins K than oats. Chickpeas are a good source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Phosphorus. Chickpeas are a great source of Iron. Oats are a good source of Thiamin, Magnesium, Zinc. Oats are a great source of Phosphorus, Iron.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | chickpeas | oats |
| Vitamin B1 | 26% | 39% |
| Vitamin B2 | 11% | 7% |
| Vitamin B3 | 7% | 4% |
| Vitamin B5 | 18% | 14% |
| Vitamin B6 | 27% | 6% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | chickpeas | oats |
| Sodium | 1% | 0% |
| Potasium | 14% | 6% |
| Calcium | 12% | 6% |
| Magnesium | 18% | 26% |
