Do canned chickpeas need to be cooked?

Canned chickpeas are pre-cooked chickpeas. You can eat canned chickpeas straight out of the can! (Just be sure to rinse them off before chowing down to wash out excess sodium) Otherwise, you can roast them or turn them into any number of delicious dishes.

How to make chickpea salad less dry?

A lot of the time to get a good texture on canned chickpeas you have to cook them a little longer. Drain the chickpeas and put them in a pot with some fresh water and simmer for 5-6minutes (until the chickpeas are tender) then drain and let cool.
