I do not eat mine with bread, however the occasional cracker tastes great dipped in it. I will have hummus for lunch with all fresh vegetables and it is very satisfying aftera workout at the gym and for snacking on during the day. I'm more inclined to snack on veggies with the hummus around than on junk. I made some great hummus today. I do not eat mine with bread, however the occasional cracker tastes great dipped in it.

Well I made some today from an receipe I found on the web. It was diefinetly better than the store brought I was purchasing. I also found it to be satisfying to the old tummy, thus making feel full with a small unmeasured portion. Because I added lots of garlic and sea salt, the aftertaste is great, and leaves me not wanting to reach for something sweet. Hum Hummus. Well I made some today from an receipe I found on the web.

I had never had it until I went to Oman a year and a half ago. It was definitly a staple of my diet for the 2 1/2 weeks I was there and when I came home I tried to reproduce it. I have actually never tried to make it with tahini, but I found that I can make something that resembles the various kinds that I had in Oman with out it. The result is very healthy and I found a type of pita in Walmart that has only 60 calories and 16% of the fiber one should have in a day plus Omega 3s and tastes really, really good.... I am convinced that hummus when prepared at home can be very healthy indeed! I am eating some hummus I made myself right at the moment. I had never had it until I went to Oman a year and a half ago.

For years I have been making hummus with chickpeas (tinned) but have discovered that Italian cannelini beans make a much lighter, smoother and creamier hummus. I vary the recipe but the basics remain the same: 2 tins beans, (drained of their brine) 1/2 cup tahini, juice of one lemon, 2 cloves chopped garlic, salt, cumin, and water if the mix is too thick. Blend everything in food processor until smooth. Never fails. I have been put on a sugar/wheat/yeast free diet and hummus is one of the things I can eat.

The ones usually referred to as "Mexican", contain a smaller amount of the jello-like nutritional fiber which gives hummus it's smooth texture. In Europe and the ME there are also the "Bulgarian" and "Turkish" varieties which are much better for hummus. The Bulgarian, specifically , are really tiny but double it's size after being soaked. Technically, "Garbanzo beans" is just another name for chickpeas, not a name of a specific variety. I suspect that the large chickpeas you find in the US market are not even grown in Mexico, and are called "Garbanzo beans" only because this is how American Mexicans call them, and most Americans don't know better. Advise your loved ones to look for a variety with smaller grains. I'm sure there are such chickpeas in Mexico. And please tell me if it helped. Good luck! Dear Xochitl,

I felt great to know that I could recommend the "mexican garbanzos" to my beloved ones in Mexico when I read that you do not recommend to use them for the hummus. They look pretty much the same to me so I would love to know what is the difference between them and the chick-peas. Thanks a lot! It is a fantastic site what you have here!
