    That entire thing should be illegal. Hommos (literally Arabic word for chickpea) only contains these ingredients: chickpeas, tahineh, lemon, a bit of water to blend, salt. Optionally garlic, cumin powder. Go check the ingredient list of that department store crime against humanity they dare to call hummus.

      The same places you buy pre-made hummus also sell factory-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. There are a lot worse food crimes than “Food for people who dont own a blender.”

        You can buy pre-made hommos and it can be alright but I know what OP is talking about and it has nothing to do with hommos. I listed all the ingredients that belong in it, nothing else does. Now next time you are in the shop and you buy that monstrosity they call hommos just go and check the ingredient list. Why is there sunflower oil in it? Why sugar? Sure as hell vinegar does not belong in there. What kind of spices are in there and why? Who told you to put fucking pumpkin or pesto on it? It does not belong there. I will die on this hill to make sure you understand that putting all that shit in hommos is the middle eastern equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza.

        naw, peehole’s gpt this one right. store bought is crazy expensive, has a buncha crap in it and doesn’t taste great.

        only thing i have to add is that using dry chickpeas is way better than canned for flavor as well as texture.

          I make my own and hate store bought. That’s not the point.

          “Hummus SHOULD be like this and NOT like that.”

          Cool if you like traditional or if that’s your preference or whatever… But people can put olive oil or peppers or beans or whatever they want.

        I get it. I hate when places try to sell poutine with shredded cheese instead of cheese curd
