How to Cook
Cooking organic chickpeas is simple and can be done in a few easy steps:

- Drain and Rinse: Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them thoroughly with fresh water.
- Cook: Transfer the chickpeas to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-1.5 hours until tender. For added flavour, you can cook them with a bay leaf, garlic, or onion.
- Drain: Once cooked, drain the chickpeas and they are ready to be used in your favourite recipes.
Alternatively, you can use a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time. Simply add the soaked chickpeas to the pressure cooker, cover with water, and cook for 20-25 minutes.
