Do you enjoy eating hummus?

mollybgood — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 10:54:35 GMT

I've seen a number of hummus ads over the last few years. Before this week I had no interest in tasting this food. I was at the CVS yesterday looking into the refrigerator case when a single-serving container of hummus and pretzels caught my eye. I decided to take a chance and try it. It is OK ~ not yummy/not yucky. I have decided to add it to my buy-occasionally list. Guacamole is already on that list.

You can save a little money by making your own. You need a can of garbanzo beans, a pouch of Bush's Hummus Made Easy, and a blender.

I love hummus and always have some on hand. It makes a nice quick snack or meal. It’s so versatile. I’m allergic to wheat so I usually eat it with veggies - red pepper sticks, celery, carrots, etc. Sometimes I’ll eat it with rice crackers. I used to get hummus sandwiches at the health food store. They were usually made with whole-grain bread and had other veggies like shredded carrots.

I never tried it. I read awhile ago that chickpeas (garbonzo beans) can cause migraines in some.

It's ok if I were somewhere and hungry and someone had it with crackers out as an appetizer but I wouldn't buy it. Maybe years ago when I was on a healthy eating kick but now I eat as healthy as possible but it has to be really great tasting to buy it and eat it.

Yes. I don't like most beans or peas (yuck, I really hate any bean and yuck I am very picky about the few peas I will ever eat), and I like hummus.

Think I'll make some today. Good for a take to work snack on rye crisp with cukes or peppers.

For the most part, but usually not if it is packaged.Typically, real hummus tastes nothing like the packaged kind imo. I like to make my own or get it from a local restaurant, my favorite being from a small Lebanese restaurant. Now that is amazing hummus!

I can take it or leave it. I never buy it, but will eat it if it's served. I'm not a bit chickpea fan.

We went to a Hummus making demo and an showing of the film Hummus at our local JCC.

The hand made hummus was amazing, nothing like the store bought

I finally tried it. A good brand offers small containers to-go so. Definitely not something I'll eat again. The bean flavor was terrible. The spices were good but I couldn't get past that nasty bean flavor and gagging consistency.

I spread it on a sandwich with pita bread and salami and a spicy dill pickle slice. Heavenly!

I like it spread on wheat crackers with green olives on top and a little parsley. At my 2 year old grandsons daycare they give the kids hummus and chips as a snack, he loves it, BTW, chick peas are very healthy for you.
