i've read that eating raw chickpeas (not soaked or cooked) can be dangerous, leading to health issues, or at least major discomfort. i know that like most legumes you can soak and sprout them and they are okay to eat from there. chickpeas have always tended to give me gastrointestinal issues so i've just had to avoid eating them in general. i'd love to know if you ever get around to making hummus with raw chickpeas! keep me posted!
