Make your own. All the store bought brands have crap ingredients and GMOs.

I used to love Tribe's jalapeño version but haven't been able to find it in years. Sabra is too smooth and oily for me.

Although I have made hummus and it's good, I don't always have the ingredients on hand. For convenience, kids and I also love Sabra (garlic with the chopped garlic in the middle).

Cava is good.
Cooks Illustrated has recommended Sabra hummus as their top grocery store pick.

Asmar's Original -- the only brand DH will eat. Smooth and not spicy. DS likes it too.

Cava Original -- for me. Love the texture and the flavor.

Lebanese Taverna -- for me. Yum Yum!

Asmar's extra garlic. Closest to homemade hands down. Locally made:

At Whole Foods and Yes! Organics.

Sabra uses a soybean/canola blend instead of olive oil! :p

I think Alton Brown also just did hummus on his show, starting from dried chickpeas which he cooks in a slow-cooker for creamy texture.


I love mine too, and do someting similar:

2 cans chickpeas (one drained one not)
Juice from a whole squeezed lemon
Roasted garlic (not raw, wayyy too sharp, if you have no time to roast, then powdered, just not raw)
1/4 sesame seeds
1Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper to taste
**I like to throw in a whole jalapeno

I blend al of this in my Vitamix-Amazing! I can't go store bought anymore.



oops forgot 1 tbs of cumin

Another vote for homemade - I soak dry chick peas the night before and pressure cook them. When cooled, I add couple cloves garlic, olive oil, lemon, corriander, jalapeno, salt, tahini, water and paprika. Blend. I don't have amounts but everything to taste.
