Once opened, transfer canned chickpeas to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will typically last for 3-5 days. If you want to store them for a longer period, you can freeze them. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Frozen chickpeas can last for 6-8 months.
