Love it. Loved it before the Hummification began too. Good on vegetables.

I like it spread on bread for a ham or turkey sandwich instead of mayo. Or with mayo.

When I'm uninspired about what to bring to the office for lunch, I just start throwing vegetables and hummus into my cooler, and worry about the results later. LOL

The stuff I buy doesn't have any "additives", so the ingredients in the tub I've grabbed from the grocery store shelves doesn't keep me up at night.

I hate all forms of chick peas - won't touch them.

I'm glad someone likes hummus. We do put chickpeas in our Minestrone Soup and it does make a difference what brand you buy, big difference in texture and taste. I thought it was promising that this will be a product that will interest the Middle East. I know there are issues with soybean production because of the drought so maybe chickpeas will fill a void.

Hubby and I love this stuff, I make it at home but if we buy it I only like sabra brand or the homemade hummus from the local greek place by me. The flavors we like are roasted garlic and the red pepper.

I can't say that I love it. There's something about the grittiness that turns me off after a couple of dips.

BUT!

I made a discovery recently: edamame hummus. It's made with edamame instead of chickpeas and the difference in texture is noticeable: it's much smoother (less gritty).

And, no, I'm not anti-chickpea. As a matter of fact, I had chickpeas in my salad today. Yum, yum.

I love hummus and eat it all of the time. If I was limited to only ten things I could eat, hummus would definitely be one of them.

I love Hummus too, all kinds of flavors to choose from. My daughter can't stand it, I think a lot of it is a texture issue for her.
