    I’ve often wondered if sprouted chickpeas maintain their extra nutrients after cooking. I read somewhere, once upon a time, that chickpeas were not suitable for sprouting, so I’ve never tried them. Have you eaten sprouted chickpeas for a long time?

    Hi Maria,
    Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been curious about sprouted legumes for a while. In Spanish we call chickpeas garbanzos so that’s how I know them. I’ve always loved them in just about any recipe. Can’t wait to give this a try:)
