How long does it take to cook chickpeas without soaking?

Why are my chickpeas still crunchy?

If you're having consistent problems with dried beans not softening enough during the cooking process, it may be because you live in a very dry climate, in high altitudes, or have water that has a heavier metal content. In these cases, you may benefit from adding a pinch of baking soda to the pre-soaking water.
