Why soak dried chickpeas before cooking?

Soaking helps the chickpeas absorb water, reducing cooking time and encouraging an even, creamy texture throughout each bean once cooked.

Can cooked chickpeas be frozen?

Yes. Once cooked and cooled, chickpeas freeze very well. Divide them into portions with a little of their cooking liquid, then freeze so they're ready to add to future meals.

What is the difference between dried and canned chickpeas?

Dried chickpeas require soaking and cooking but often develop a firmer texture and richer flavour. They also allow you to control the final texture depending on how long you cook them, making them ideal for recipes such as hummus, salads and slow-cooked stews.
