Hummus nutrition facts

Plain hummus combines plant protein, fiber, and slow-digesting carbohydrate from chickpeas with unsaturated fat from tahini and olive oil. For a straightforward product, choose the shortest recognizable ingredient list: chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and simple spices. Avoid products where starches, gums, sugar, flavorings, or several unfamiliar additives replace the core ingredients. Refrigerate after opening, keep the container tightly closed, and follow the package's use-by guidance.

Interesting fact

A short ingredient list shows what builds the hummus

Chickpeas form the fiber-, starch-, and protein-rich base. Tahini adds sesame fat and a creamy texture; olive oil adds richness and unsaturated fat; lemon provides acidity; garlic and spices provide aroma; and salt raises sodium. These ingredients already create the expected texture and flavor, so a long list of thickeners, sweeteners, and flavorings is unnecessary for a simple plain hummus.
