Lots of seeds put out nasty substances to protect themselves when they're at their most vulnerable stage - when they have taken in water and softened up to germinate, but have not yey got their first leaves up into the light to feed themselves.
So, to play it safe, soak any seed , to start germination; chuck away the soaking water, boil hard for ten minutes to break down any Lectins (as per red kidney beans)and to stop germination, then fish one out and bite it/attempt to hook it. If hookable/biteable, drain and cool; if not, turn down to a simmer and test at ten-minute intervals.
My own preference with chickpeas and wheat is to soak for twenty-four hours, drain, then cover with a damp J-cloth and leave them to carry on germinating for another whole day, to continue turning all the indigestible "fartogenic" starches into sweet sugars. Then boil, then simmer.
