Original Hummus, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d find this chilled tub in the refrigerated dip section or on a deli shelf — an easy grab for a picnic, snack tray, or last-minute appetizer. It feels wholesome and convenient: creamy, savory, and familiar with a Mediterranean vibe. The smooth texture comes from blended chickpeas, tahini and oil, while lemon concentrate and citric acid and the ready-to-eat packaging are processing cues consistent with a processed (not heavily industrialized) product.

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.
