Answers:
You can eat them 'raw' out of a can (the canned ones are already pre-boiled), genuinely fresh raw chickpeas are delicious and safe to eat - although they have an earthy starchy flavour which I guess not everyone would like!. I wouldn't recommend eating the dried ones without cooking them!.!.!.!.!. ouch!.!.!.!. hxWww@FoodAQ@Com

chickpeas are the same as garbanzo beans, I think!. I don't know of any way ot eat them other than raw!. They are wonderful!. Many people put them in their salads!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes right out of the can yum yumm! just refrigerate after opening! Good in salads, makes an awesome humus dip! also called garbonzo beans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can, if you like theraw, starchy flavor!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can't even eat them cooked, yuck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Midnight, right out of the can wouldn't be raw!.!.!.

But, yeah, you can!. Like the other poster said they're really starchy!. But, hey, if you like the taste!. You could always make some hummus!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They have to be soaked at least, otherwise you'll break your teeth!. In any case, they don't taste of much on their own, you'll be better off eating them as Hummous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you eat chic-peas raw then it could give you a very bad stomach ache and cause lathyrsam with is neurological lesions of the spinal cord so please cook them first because that sounds very dangerous to me!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can make them like sprouts and eat!. If you like them cooked, you can cook them and add salt and green chillis!. They will be delicious and great protein food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can eat chickpeas raw!.!.!. its upto you if you want them cooked or you want them raw! they taste great both waysWww@FoodAQ@Com

No, they cannot be eaten raw - you would be heading for an expensive dental bill - if you could find a dentist!

They need to be soaked for as long as possible and then cooked hard and long to render them edible!.

Why not buy a tin of chickpeas!? All the work is done and providing you do not include metal peices can be less damaging to health and teeth!Www@FoodAQ@Com

canned ones are already cooked so you can eat them!. The real chick peas need to be soaked overnight before cooking them so I wouldn't eat them raw as you could break your teeth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
