Ever seen raw garbanzo beans?

[Stina]

I was just at a Food for Less store, buying non-organics like bananas and oranges ( don't throw the rotten tomato at me, I buy organic greens and apples!)
and I saw raw garbanzo beans. Never saw or heard of such a thing. I went over, peeled and pod and ate a tender, tasty bean. I didn't buy any, not knowing if eating a handful would wreak havoc on my digestion.
Anyone eat raw garbanzo beans? Or do I get to do the experiment and report back?

do you mean these ones? I think you can eat them raw. We can't get them here :( Enjoy....but ask someone else first because I'm not an expert.
