They are called essential as your body does not make these amino acids and must be consumed through food intake. - These acids are as follows; -- isoleucine -- leucine -- lysine -- methionine -- prenylalaine -- threonine -- tryptophan -- valine Three of these acids are -not -found in chickpeas but are found in tahini. These are; -- methionine -- threonine -- tryptophan For a nutritious, well-balanced hummus you need tahini. I only point this out for the vegans who need to be aware of their protein/animo acid intake. I cite Alton Brown's you tube video as the source and, if you love hummus (as I do) you need to see his hummus video on this web site. Cheers. Comments address amino acids in hummus:

Don't waste time removing skin (IMHO they taste better but make sure well washed to remove soil/sand etc.). They will stay good in the refrigerator for quite a few days. Spread cold beets generously with hummus. As close as I ever get to a religious experience! Discovered by accident when the refrigerator was suddenly bereft of mayo (thank you wife for having placed a container of hummus in easy reach at this very critical moment xoxoxo). Now I have found that everything I formally paired with mayo can be dramatically improved with hummus. Serendipity came to my rescue! I now actually love making my own (O.K. "our own" as I will occasionally let others in the family share the joy) hummus: protein, fiber, good oils, wonderful fragrances of lemon, garlic, cumin, parsley, Good things can still come late in life.
