The Folate Stays in the Can
Canned chickpeas, drained, hold about 48 mcg DFE of folate per 100 g, while chickpeas boiled at home from dry hold about 172 mcg DFE per 100 g. Folate is water-soluble, so much of it leaves the bean for the canning liquid you pour off.
How to choose and store Canned Chickpeas
How to choose
Choose cans in good condition. Avoid bulging, leaking, rusted, or deeply dented cans.
Storage
Store unopened in a cool, dry place below 85°F. High-acid foods (like tomatoes, citrus, pineapple) keep 12–18 months; low-acid foods (like beans, most vegetables, fish) keep 2–5 years. Once opened, refrigerate the unused portion; for best quality move it to a covered container. Follow any date on the label.
