Chickpeas can be used during complementary feeding, but there are some important points to keep in mind.
Chickpeas can be introduced when your baby is 8-9 months old. First, they should be well-boiled and peeled since the skin can make digestion difficult. They should be served as a puree, not left in whole pieces.
How to prepare: Soak chickpeas overnight, remove the peels the next day, and boil until very soft (it's more convenient in a pressure cooker). Then mash with a fork or blend. No salt, spices, or tomato paste. You can mix in a small amount of olive oil and a vegetable your baby is already used to (like potatoes or carrots).
Start with a small spoonful, observe if it causes gas. For the first few days, give a small amount and introduce it alone first.
Note: If using canned chickpeas, always drain and rinse well with plenty of water, but freshly boiled is always better.
