Start with plain, and work your way into other flavors like olive and red pepper

That kind of depends on what your preferences are. I don't know what flavors they come in but I love it and I have tried sun dried tomato, garlic and lemon, plain, black olive, and chocolate. I don't ever try anything spicy hot because I know I don't like spicy hot. Maybe start with the plain to see if you like the texture. Many people don't.

hummus is very easy to make on your own AND it tastes so good with fresh lemon and olive oil.

if i am buying hummus, i prefer the plain or the roasted garlic.

Roasted Red Pepper is my favorite, but I'll eat any flavor. I love hummus!

If you ever have time, make your own with garbanzo beans you cook from dried. It is wonderful! Oil and lemon and pepper are my favorites, plus the garlic!

I love roasted red pepper, roasted garlic or plain. I prefer Boarshead because it doesn't have citric acid which upsets my stomach. If you're not bothered by citric acid, Sabra is O.K. I love dipping fresh Naan in it.

@Mary Bailey I buy the garlic and red pepper from Aldi and usually get the blue tortilla chips or the pita chips to go with it.

I think they also have a 4 flavor one where the container is broken down in 4 sections with a different flavor in each.

I actually read that its easy to make your own, so I have the ingredients and will make my own garlic version this week.

I dont like hummus, IMO you have to like garbonzo beans or chickpeas, which I do not. I would suggest buying a small amount to see if you like it.

Definitely start with plain, then work your way up.

I like salsa hummus. Spicy with a kick and not bland. Don't buy chocolate hummus. I bought that at Walmart once and it was not good. I like hummus with veggies.

I like it with Roasted Garlic.

What flavor do you like? Hummus plain is rather mild.

I'm happy with just the garlic, but I think would like to try the guac hummus.

I agree with the previous poster, get the variety pack.

I would start with the plain. Take note of the salt content if you are purchasing flavored hummus. If you can find tahini paste, it's really really easy to make in a food processor.

I live in a very rural area and the grocery stores within 17 miles of me, including Walmart, do not carry tahini so I have to purchase it online.

The different manufacturers each do it a little different. So their flavors vary.

The best is what you make yourself. Mine might be a little lumpier, but oh flavors with fresh.

Drained Canned Beans are totally good to use
