Potassium and Sodium :
Each cup of kala chana provides 477 milligrams of potassium, or 14 percent of the daily value, and only 11 milligrams of sodium, or less than 1 percent of the daily value. Sodium causes your body to retain water and increases your blood pressure, while potassium helps reduce the effects of sodium, according to MayoClinic.com. A high-potassium, low-sodium diet helps prevent high blood pressure and an increased risk of stroke and kidney disease. A cup of kala chana boiled in salt water contains 399 milligrams of sodium.
Iron, Calcium and Folate
A cup of boiled kala chana provides 4.7 milligrams of iron, or 28 percent of the daily value. Iron is a component of hemoglobin, which is the oxygen-carrying component of your red blood cells. Iron deficiency causes anemia. Each cup of boiled kala chana provides 80 milligrams of calcium, or 8 percent of the daily value for this bone-strengthening mineral. Pregnant women need to have adequate stores of folate for preventing neural tube birth defects, and a cup of boiled kala chana supplies 282 micrograms of folate, or 71 percent of the daily value.
Kala Chana Uses :
You can add canned or boiled kala chana to salads to increase the protein and fiber content. Kala chana curry is a spicy Indian stew that uses kala chana, oil, turmeric and other spices, such as ginger, red chili powder and coriander. You can limit the sodium in kala chana recipes by adding less salt for seasoning during cooking and at the table and by using low-sodium canned kala chana instead of salted canned beans.
