Chick peas

Catherine Smith on Nov 10, 2013I don't care for the taste of raw chickpeas. But they are great in soups and stews. Check the web, there are ton of sites out there with all kind of recipes for the use of chickpeas. Home grown is the best!Helpful Reply

Felicity Woodruffe on Nov 13, 2013oh i am so pleased as i really enjoyed growing these rather pretty plants and love the crunchy juiciness of fresh veg im sure when i was young my mother sprouted them in jars with blotting paper and we ate them it would be so wonderful if someone did a comprehensive list of what is safe uncooked or just blanched i want to do tiger nuts cant wait for spring its so bitterly cold here todayHelpful Reply

Felicity Woodruffe on Nov 21, 2013actually kidney beans along with some others can be very toxic to humans if they are not cooked at a high enough temperature and for the correct length of time, they cause vomitting stomach upset and can also cause severe pain.symptoms usually calm down after a few hours but you can be very poorly.google it there are many references to this regards felicityHelpful Reply
