What You Should Know

You'd find this 8 oz tub in the refrigerated hummus/deli section—grabbed for weekday lunches, snack platters, or a last‑minute appetizer. It feels wholesome and convenient: creamy and garlicky with a homemade vibe, yet clearly blended and packaged for store sale. The short ingredient list (cooked chickpeas, tahini, oil, simple seasonings, and a mild acid) signals mechanical processing and preservation rather than heavy industrial reformulation.

Common Questions about Original Hummus, 8 OZ

The Original Hummus is a pretty solid snack choice if you’re looking for something that’s plant-based and lower in sugar. With just 80 calories per serving and a blend of wholesome ingredients like chickpeas and tahini, it can fit nicely into a balanced diet. However, ‘healthy’ can be subjective — it's great as a dip or spread, but moderation is key, especially if you’re watching your fat intake.
