I don't know about you but I love chickpeas!
The only problem is that they are very difficult to digest...
However, they are excellent for your health, and I don't want to do without them.
Fortunately, a cook friend revealed to me his trick to make chickpeas much more digestible.
Just soak them in bicarbonate water overnight . Watch:
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- bowl
- water
1. Fill a bowl with water.
2. Add baking soda.
3. Stir with a spoon to dilute it well.
4. Pour the dried chickpeas into the bowl.
5. Let them soak overnight.
6. The next day, drain the chickpeas.
7. Cook them as usual.
And There you go ! Your chickpeas are now easy to digest :-)
Easy, efficient and economical, right?
No more digestion problems and farts after eating it!
For best results, soak your pulses in 2 different water baths, and cook them twice, changing the cooking water.
This trick also works for lentils, split peas, soybeans, broad beans or dried beans.
Lentils are the most digestible legumes because they contain less cellulose.
But do not hesitate to also soak them a little before cooking so that they pass like a letter in the post office!
Legumes are excellent for health because they are rich in iron, calcium and magnesium, but also in vitamins.
As they are low in fat, they are low in calories and ideal for dieting.
And of course, a big plus, they are very cheap!
You can therefore consume it regularly without breaking the bank and doing yourself good. What a profit!
These legumes have a very thick skin that contains phytic acid.
However, our body does not digest it very well...
Soaking them softens that tough skin.
As for bicarbonate, it allows him to dissolve phytic acid and make it inactive.
