HI...

I have been reading the posts on this topic.  I like to go back
country camping and am always looking for food ideas.  I met a person
who told me he takes a large bag of chick pea flour with him and makes
hummus while he's in the back country.  He mixes it with water and
whatever spices he's brought along.  Considering the discussion on the
possible toxicity of raw chick peas, does anyone have a comment on
how safe this is?  It sounds like a great idea, and an excellent
alternative for GFer's.  Would one be better served by heat treating
the flour, say in a warm oven or microwave (as the objective is to
keep it dry for travel).

Any comments are appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
