where you can find them fresh?
I can't have citric acid which they add to almost everything canned (can't have olives anymore!! ) so I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy fresh chick pease...if it's even possible? I've never seen any at the HFS I go to...
Thanks for any help! It would be SUPER to make my own hummous and tahini!

I believe you can get them dried, in bags. They're usually near where bags of rice and lentils are kept.
HTH!

I know my mother bought them once from the bulk section dry at her local grocery store.

Yes, you can get them dry in the bulk bins or in bags with other beans like lentils, black beans, etc... they are also called garbanzo bean.

Dried chickpeas, cooked, taste a lot better than canned chickpeas. Well, to me, anyway. I always use dried chickpeas (cooked, of course!) when I make hummus.
I get mine prepackaged in bags in the grocery store, where the rices and beans are.

Can he eat fruit? Can he have ascorbic acid?
I'm not able to have ascorbic acid OR fruit so I am trying to find innovative ways to get vitamin C.
I have heard of Ester C but I'm too chicken to try it atm for fear it will be too much for my bladder. I plan to try it in the future though.
Thanks for any thoughts *hugs*

Aww, thanks Casey *hugs* That makes me feel better about not being to eat the canned stuff anymore.
And I have to keep telling mysef it's HEALTHIER to eat things fresh!
