I have discovered Hummus

[JCJRSmith]

I never thought I would try the stuff, but now I really like it. The local grocery stores carry quite a variety. The roasted red pepper has been the best so far. The cool thing about it is, a 2 Tbs serving has 1 gm carbs, 1 gm protein, and 3 gms fat (NO saturated fat). It is great on veggies like celery, or something like a whole-grain pita or cracker.

Just thought I'd share.

Whats hummus?

Hi,

I totally agree that it's great and the roasted red pepper is the best.

In the UK we seem to spell it humous, but I'm sure it's the same thing as I looked on the web.

It's made from mashed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and garlic; used especially as a dip for pita; originated in the Middle East.

Try it, it's great

I wonder which programs allow this food. I used to eat it,and always loved it. Not sure if it would work for me now. Actually, not sure if I could stop at 2 tbsps.

South Beach allows it. It is low carb, no saturated fat.

I LOVE hummus. Homemade hummus is the greatest, but the store stuff will work, too. Ohhh and the Tangerine Cafe at the Morocco Pavilion has delicious hummus. Almost every time we go to Epcot we get that as a snack.

Hummus is one of the reasons I decided to give SB a try.
Couldn't live without it!

[wiskband]

Um guys..........I still don;t know what hummus is? lol
sounds good what ever it is.........Is it something you cook with?

 

[JCJRSmith]

Hummus is a spread. You can have it on anything from crackers and pita to veggies.

If you like something a little tangy/spicy, try the Trader Joe's Horseradish Hummus. It is great as a dip with pita or a sandwich spread in place of mayo. It is very good.

I love Hummus!

In the summer I love to take cucumbers and tomatoes from my garden and spread hummus on a tortilla, add the cucumbers and tomatoes and have a very low point snack or lunch.

Hummus, has such an addicting flavor. Once I start eating it, I crave it. I think I will have to have some this weekend. YUMM!

O.K., you guys have me curious now. Where do you find it in the grocery store, is it in the produce section or with like the other dips in dairy?

 

[JCJRSmith]

I usually see it near the deli section.
