Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you can't find garbanzos or chickpeas at the supermarket (dried), check the canned beans section. They usually have some there. Because garbanzos take so long to cook when dried, the canned ones are quite convenient. They even come without salt, if necessary.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I second what LaDonna's saying, and I just want to add that for the transition you're making, canned garbanzos/chickpeas can be enormously helpful. They're good for protein on a salad as-is, mashed for hummus (yum), thrown in pasta or other grain dishes, baked with seasonings tossed on them, etc. They're so mild in flavor that you can use them in all sorts of dishes from around the world without the beans competing against the other flavors. It'd be worth it to seek them out at a further-afield grocery store and just stock up.
