My chickpeas have sprouted, will they still be ok to make houmous from?

[Hopefully]

Soaked chickpeas on thursday night, drained on friday morning and didn't make houmous straight away as I didn't have all the ingredients. I've now come to make it and most of the chickpeas have got 1/2cm of sprout coming out of them!

Will they be ok to us?

They are fine, some people try to get them to sprout, with lots of rinsing etc.

[misshardbroom]

yes, they're fine. More nutritious houmous, I believe.

[Hopefully]

Just in case anyone else is interested, the houmous is rather scrummy!
