Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I just started trying to use less canned goods and I have dried garbanzo beans. I soaked them and now I want to use them. I have sprouted some but do I have to cook them? Are the beans that we buy in cans already cooked? I never really thought about it. Thanks, Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yes, the canned ones are cooked. I used to boil dried chick peas (garbanzos). I asked someone from Cedars why their hummus was so much better than mine; he told me that they steam, not boil, the chick peas. I now steam mine in my rice cooker.
