Hummus

The days when hummus was still an insider tip are long gone. Today, this vegan chickpea dip from the Middle East has conquered kitchens around the world and earned a place in modern cuisine. Hummus is a wonderfully versatile kitchen staple and can be used as a vegan spread for bread, a flavorful dip or served with a mixed platter of starters.

Hummus is a true classic of Arabic cuisine and has been served in countries like Lebanon, Israel, Syria and Turkey for centuries. The name ‘hummus’ is actually the Arabic word for ‘chickpea’, the main ingredient of this delicious dip.

Cooked chickpeas form the base of classic hummus, together with sesame seed paste (tahini), lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and Middle Eastern spices such as cumin. All ingredients are blended together until they reach a smooth, velvety consistency – and that’s all there is to it!

We use our classic plain hummus as the base for all our other varieties. We then give them the ultimate finishing touch with a range of different toppings. Why not tantalize your taste buds with our Hummus with Chili, Balsamic and Onion Topping, or dig into our Hummus with Pine Nut Topping? If you like variety but hate having to choose, look no further than our Hummus Trio with three creamy varieties: Classic, Spicy and Curry. It’s simply heavenly!

Hummus has always tasted great on its own as a dip with flatbread, crackers or fresh vegetables. Today, however, it’s also used as a sandwich filling, as a topping for Buddha bowls, as a spread in wraps or as a side for grilled vegetables or falafel. Hummus not only tastes fantastic – it’s also an outstanding source of protein and a true superfood!

Whether traditional or modern, hummus brings the taste of the Middle East to your table. Give it a try – you’re sure to find inspiration!
