WITH HUMUS WARS

NOT Hamas, but hummus is once again at the centre of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Those 9 that we can not synthesize are the essential amino acids that we must consume in our diets. There are not, however, 18 essential amino acids as you say. You might want to check your sources to make sure that they are reliable. Just needed to tell you that there are 20 amino acids that make up protein, 9 of which humans can not synthesize.

Lazy... so many hours of preparation. But now that I read your article here about the loss of nutritional value in canned chick peas, I am considering preparing from dried chickpeas again. I was just wondering: would freezing cooked chickpeas keep these nutritional values? It's a lot of work for a small amount of chickpeas. We don't eat buckets of hummus ;-) I love hummus, but have been making it from canned chickpeas up till now. Lazy… so many hours of preparation.

I have recently started making hummus at home and love having it for lunch at work. Today, I am trying hummus from dried chickpeas for the first time. I am waiting for the chickpeas to finish cooking now. For future versions, I will use your website as my guide. I also made pita bread for the first time tonight. I need to work on perfecting my pita bread as several came out more like little pizzas than pitas. :) I will look at your recipe now. Thank you for your very informative blog.
