How to prepare white chickpeas
- Inspect and rinse thoroughly.
- Soak in plenty of water for 8–12 hours.
- Drain, add fresh water and cook until the centre is tender.
- For hummus, cook slightly longer for a softer, smoother result.
Actual cooking time varies with soaking, water quality, cooker type and the age of the chickpeas. Avoid judging doneness by time alone—taste a chickpea and check the centre.

Nutrition in context
White chickpeas naturally contain plant protein, dietary fibre, carbohydrates and micronutrients. They are best understood as one part of a varied diet rather than a product that guarantees a health outcome.
Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from humidity, heat and sunlight. Always use a dry scoop and inspect before rinsing and cooking.
