Chickpeas help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, improve short-term memory, and help lower cholesterol. Increasingly, housewives use chickpeas to prepare various dishes. However, when cooking chickpeas, some secrets should be taken into account:

- chickpeas should be soaked for 4 hours before cooking.

The water for soaking should be at room temperature.

- it makes no sense to soak chickpeas for a longer time than 4 hours, since the best effect cannot be achieved.

- if you soak the chickpeas overnight, it will only lengthen the cooking time. Chickpeas soaked for 4 hours are enough to boil for 45-50 minutes until ready. Chickpeas soaked overnight (for 12 hours) will need to be cooked until cooked for at least 1.5 hours, since processes will start in the chickpeas during this time to start the germination of chickpeas.

- when soaking, keep the proportion of chickpeas and water 1: 4.

- Salt chickpeas just before the end of cooking.

If you follow these tips, you can make delicious chickpeas.
