The article critiques readymade hummus, emphasizing that it should be consumed fresh like bread, with homemade versions being superior in taste and health. Most supermarket hummus contains added oils and preservatives, classifying them as ultra-processed foods. A recommendation is made for purchasing from specialists or making hummus at home using quality ingredients. Despite the appeal of convenience, the article identifies some standout supermarket options, highlighting a selection of hummus that balances flavor and ingredient quality.
For us, hummus is like bread: something that should be made fresh daily. In our restaurants, we make a batch every day.
Most of the hummus we tested had added oil and preservatives, making them ultra-processed foodstuffs and decidedly not healthy.
We recommend buying from a specialist or making your own using good-quality tinned chickpeas and tahini. It comes together in seconds.
Hummus really is the perfect companion to an office spread, a long train ride or an impromptu picnic, so we may as well know the good from the bad.
