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.

The Tub Beats the Bowl
USDA lists commercial hummus at about 5.5 g of fiber per 100 g and home-prepared hummus at about 4.0 g. Hummus is a mixture, so the ratio of chickpeas to oil, tahini and water decides the number — recipes are not interchangeable.
