Cooking Instruction

Chickpeas should soak overnight. Place them in a large bowl of cold water. The water level should be substantially higher than the chickpeas as they will expand. Cover and let sit overnight. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. To cook the chickpeas place them in a large pot and cover with several inches of water. Use 4 cups of water for 1 cup of chickpeas. Bring water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt if desired. Cook the chickpeas for 60 to 90 minutes, or until desired tenderness is achieved. Drain and let cool.

Storage

Store dry and raw chickpeas in a sealed container in a cool dry place. Use within one year for best quality. Cooked chickpeas can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You may also store cooked chickpeas in the freezer for up to one year in a sealed container or freezer bag.
