Chickpeas are high in phytoestrogens, easy to make and delicious!
What you will need:
1 cup chickpeas (soaked overnight)
4 cups water
Pinch of sea salt
Immerse chickpeas in a bowl of cold water. Shells and broken parts will float to the top and can be picked out by hand. Rinse and then cover the chickpeas with fresh water. Soak overnight.
Transfer the chickpeas and water to a large saucepan. Bring the chickpeas to a boil, then cover and simmer until the chickpeas are tender, approximately 90 minutes. The fresher the beans, the quicker they will cook.
Use cooked chickpeas sprinkled on salads, in stews, in hummus, or mixed in with grains.
