Date: May 16, 2009 01:29AM They were fresh? Cool...
bercause when they are dry, and have to be soaked and sprouted, the taste has to disapear behind lots of dressings to become palatable... burk, that starchy bean taste is horrible (sorry, don't want to upset anyone) Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 16, 2009 01:27PM Jehosaphat, Wendy! It's like flora from another planet, a strange and mystical one! I am baffled. I'm in Detroit, which is chock-a-block with Arabic shops, and among their myriad chickpea preparations, I have never encountered these. They look like the youngest form, like spring petite pois or fava beans. Mexican store, you say? They must be grown somewhere nearby. I wonder if there's a source for chickpea seeds, from which you could grow your own? Fascinating. Thanks for posting. Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 16, 2009 06:44PM They are green! Now I understand why they are called kikkererwten in Dutch: kikker means frog (erwten = peas) !
My son just asked me Yesterday why they are called that way (-: Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 16, 2009 11:29PM They taste kinda fresh, slightly sweet and tender. I tried making a hummus out of them. Bitter tasting udsng the tahini recipe I used to use with canned chick peas. I tossed it. For me these are best eaten alone.
This si what they looked like in the store (in their pods).

Date: May 17, 2009 04:50AM I had those one time it was the right time of year in May at the big Flea market in San Jose,Ca I bought some on the vine fresh never to be seen again until today on living food great photos.
Where I live and travel to they dont grow or consume much garbanzo beans. I have bought garbanzos sprouted before but very rare to see them like. Cherimoya, Love Peace and Happiness, Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 20, 2009 03:13AM Wow, they look good. I love going to ethnic stores and checking out different raw foods. You almost feel like your in another country. Only wish I had a guide to explain what was what. And if you try to ask someone a question, I usually get back "no English"  Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 21, 2009 02:43AM I just ground them with 2 Tbl of tahini, some garlic and lemon juice. It was bitter. It's not bitter when I used to use the canned beans. I'm going to stick with eating them straight. :-)

YEAHHHH!!! i never saw em fresh too how totally and unbelievably refreshing to see a pic of them and know u can eat them fresh just like that 
without pulverizing them into a hummus but it is interesting why it would taste bitter after u make it into a paste and not bitter if u eat it straight maybe the garlic and lemmmmmmon juice is what is making them taste bitter think so? so interesting Re: Raw Chick Peas

Date: May 25, 2009 01:03PM I added tahini too. Maybe they don't like to be processed! :-)
