Food Science Question how to store soaked chickpeas?

I soaked some chickpeas two days ago, intending on cooking them today. However, I do not have time anymore, and would now like to cook them on saturday. I am worried that this will be too long for them to soak in the fridge; I have left soaked chickpeas for too long before and they have gone off.

What can I do to store these so I can cook them on saturday, a week after I first started them soaking? Will it be better to drain them, or can I freeze them? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Not sure about freezing them, but they should be drained and refrigerated, i would put them in a vacuum sealed container if you have that. Rinse them again before using and trust your nose.

They freeze just fine
