yes I had that feeling with hummus, but not the falafel. With the raw hummus it was the tahini that really caused the nausea. I don't digest fats well and too much fat upsets my tummy.

I've only tried raw sprouted chickpeas once, but maybe I'll get brave and try again. I love hummus. When I tried before, I soaked the beans for about 12 hours, then sprouted another 24-36 hours... they had tails. I used a recipe I found on this site, mixed up hummus and thought "Yea, I can have hummus on the raw diet!".... took a bite and thought "It's ok...", took a few more bites and started feeling nauseas! The nausea lasted over two hours, so maybe I can't eat the raw beans? Has anyone else experienced anything like this and do you have any suggestions? I know some beans aren't good to eat raw, but I'm hoping I can incorporate at least a few types...

great recipe, thanks! i made a few changes- i added a garlic clove, dehydrated for twice as long, then topped with a homemade organic greek yogurt taziki sauce (greek yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon, s&p). SO yummy! my 1 year old daughter LOVED them.

you are very welcome rAWngish teechr. I have more recipes on my site www.veganatgenesis.com. It's been under construction for a few days and I'm finally finished. I hope you like it.

ItVeganGenesis, thanks so much! I'll just have to freeze one batch. Thanks for sharing this recipe:) and getting back to me so quickly.

jakkrabbit, I would just use fresh parsley. Too you could make hummus and sprouts and possibly a "not tuna" dish.

Sorry rAwngish, it was 1 cup of soaked chickpeas that doubles to 2 cups. Even though you'll have a big batch, simply double the ingredients, and I'm sure that they're still turn out great.

ItVeganGenesis,

I want to make these tonight so I soaked two cups of chickpeas and now I have at least 5 cups! Is it 2 cups soaked or pre-soaked?

Hey, is there something I can substitute for the cilantro? I don't have any. Also, I don't have a dehydrator, can these be made in the oven? I'm making them for my sibs who are non-raw, and I'm not eating any (I live on a stomach tube), so it's okay if the oven heats them more than would be allowable for raw. I just really want to make these though and see if my sibs like them, because we've got lots of bulk chickpeas and I want to do something new with them...

I tried these and didn't get gassy. You might be okay, but everyone is different.

I know, sometimes we find little gems of recipes in things we don't expect to turn out well!

The opposite holds true too when we think we have a winner of a recipe on our hands and then it tastes terrible. I have had many good receipes (which I post on here) but I have also had many that were so gross I had to toss them away (Recipes I promise never to post on here). I remember the batch of crackers that I made using the left over pulp from juicing, They were vomit worthy!

Glad this one turned out!

Thanks Hipnotizer,
Wasn't it tasty! I'm very proud of the recipe because I didn't expect it to turn out so well! Thanks for the review.

Hi Hazii!
Yes cilantro are coriander leaves. You can even grown them at home. They give a citrus flavor in a sense that parsley does with a totally different taste. It's used in pico de gallo and various indian and mexican dishes

ah that is corriander then.. thanx

Evoo is extra virgin olive oil and Cilantro is a green leaf vegetable. Kind of like Parsley.

This recipe sounds amazing, i cant wait to try it. Could you please tell me what cilantro and evoo is tho. Many thanks

Just tried these and gave you 5 stars. Super yummy!

Joannabanana, you're right. I got gassy right before bed lol Good thing my hubby fell asleep on the sofa lol.

I love falafal. So glad you are letting us try your raw recipe. Can't wait!

To Your Health!

Wow... Evoo... Just learned a new acronym :-). I tried raw humus with sprouted chickpeas before... didn't like them too much but I think I will it again and this with just soaking them; Looks yummy! Thanks!

Well I soaked these for 24 hrs in the frig and rinsed twice. They haven't given me gas. I'm eating some now as a matter of fact. They're so good. They're much tastier and creamier (on tahini, but you can add it to the recipe if you want) on the second day. I made these rather small and that also eliminated the beanie flavor.

these look so good! i do have a question though. chickpea hummus gives me a lot of indigestion. do raw chickpeas do the same? i'm just always looking for new things to add to my salad besides avocado and i want to try these.
