CHICKPEAS really CAN be anything! Just one pound of dried chickpeas make these...

As a chickpea, this really motivated me to become anything I want to be!

Here's a tip for chickpeas, if you are making hummus or just eating them: Per half pound or 250gm of dry beans, put a generous pinch of sodium bicarbonate, aka baking soda, into the soaking water. This will not make the chickpeas taste like bicarb. After soaking for several hours, drain and rinse. Your garbanzo beans will hold their shape, but will be very soft and almost creamy. I use this soaking method for most beans and it has never failed me. Vegan for almost 6 years, so I've made a lot of beans!😅

Chicpea tofu crumble can be fried with spices and used as a vegan minced meat in tacos or in a bolognese sauce.

Holy crap, this is the most mind blowing culinary video Ive ever seen, and I watch them a lot. From ONE pound of dried chickpeas you got tofu, starch for thickening sauce OR making noodles and flour for breads and batters?! I never knew that one batch of chickpeas could offer so much versatility. Subbed for sure!

Chickpea crumbles + walnuts = sloppy joe! Brilliant use of the starch!

Chickpea crumbles + lemon + nutritional yeast = Ricotta for lasagnas!!!

This whole video gave me life seeing all the things one can do with Chickpeas. Thank you so much for doing all this for your followers Mary, you are so appreciated.

So much science in this video! You turned a pound of chickpeas into a full on feast! Well done! 🙂

If you haven't already, consider further monetizing your voice cuz it is fantastic. And so is your testing. So fun to watch.

Your thoroughness and experimental attitude are amazing.

The Mozart was just the thing for the first part of the tofu portion, it was almost Beethoven-esque in the dramatic phrasing for dramatic blending footage! Loved these experiments in chickpeas; I had no idea, even after all your tofu experiments, how versatile some of our beany friends are! Thanks for posting : )

I love a whole video stuff being made from the byproducts of tofu making. It feels like a journey

Mary this is genuinely perfect

Fine crumbs of tofu, fry with spices and use as pizza topping!
