It should be noted that many legumes contain possibly dangerous levels of lectins such as phytohaemagglutinin. This is the reason for soak/discard or pre-boil/discard for them. Especially problematic are kidney beans, but others can have some levels remain. So while chickpeas and lentils are generally fine to just toss in and cook, some research should be done with other ones to see if the pre-prep is needed.
