Storage Tips

Store dried chickpeas in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry. They can last for up to 2-3 years. Cooked chickpeas should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and will remain fresh for 3-5 days. For longer storage, cooked chickpeas can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or container, where they can last for up to 6-8 months.
