Simply soaking chickpeas for 1-2 days and boiling them in water then drain the water can make them more digestible. That’s because their high FODMAP content such as galacto-oligosaccharide (which causes gas and bloating in some cases) are water soluble and leach out when soak in water. Therefore, when prepared with particular methods and consume in moderate amount, they can be easy to digest.
