When it comes to making hummus, there is a debate about whether dried chickpeas or canned chickpeas are better. Both types of chickpeas have their benefits. Canned chickpeas are more convenient because they are already cooked and ready to go, while dried chickpeas require soaking and boiling before they can be used. However, many people, myself included, find that dried chickpeas have a richer flavor than canned, as they contain higher amounts of natural starches that give the hummus a creamier texture. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference - both types of chickpeas can make delicious hummus!
