Dried chickpeas take longer to cook the older they are. I made the Brodo
using canned chickpeas and it was fantastic. The difference between canned
and dried is that you don't have to precook them. They are done. Before the
fresh/unprocessed crowd chimes in, there is little if any difference between
canned chickpeas and those made from scratch. The ingredients listed were
chickpeas, water and salt. I used the broth as part of the recipe and used
additional salt to taste.
