Summary

The matrix of a food can significantly affect how well humans can absorb and use nutrients. Plants like fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and legumes have cell walls that form a network around their cells. These cell walls are a barrier for the digestive system to break down completely, which can make it harder to digest the food and get energy from it. This study will explore how the integrity of plant cell walls affects how well humans can absorb macronutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates) and beneficial compounds e.g. phytochemicals. The study will compare two chickpea meals that have similar nutrients and energy content but differ in the amount of intact plant cell walls e.g. chickpea salad meal (INTACT diet) and chickpea burger meal (BROKEN diet).
