This is a 3 YO and she gets a contact rash. No idea what will happen
if she swallows it, but I know she's super sensitive to chickpeas
because I ate a falafel with my fingers and then must have touched her
face. That was all it took. She developed a rash in the places my
fingers touched and she had no other contact with it.

I'm not trying to pull a "look at me, I'm allergic". I was just
asking. Personally, I HATE chickpeas. Can't stand the texture or
flavor. I've never made bean burgers and was just asking about a
suitable substitute. One for a real reason, second because I hate
chickpeas and don't care if they are reconstituted dry or from a can.
I hate them. I love beans in general, but I don't like them.
