BH Dill Pickle Hummus
What You Should Know
Boar's Head Dill Pickle Hummus arrives in the refrigerated deli/dip aisle, typically perched near other premium hummus tubs, specialty cheeses and pre-sliced deli meats. Packaged in a 10-ounce resealable plastic tub, it carries Boar's Head's heritage of deli-quality branding — a slightly upscale, familiar name that signals store-brand upgrade without artisanal pricing. Shoppers reach for it on weeknight grocery runs, for appetizer shopping before a game-day gathering, or when assembling grab-and-go lunches and picnic platters. The product reads as a flavor-forward snack: creamy steamed chickpeas and tahini form a smooth base brightened by tangy dill pickle pieces and a noticeable vinegar bite; tiny flecks of dried red bell pepper and cumin add color and warmth. Texture is silky yet slightly chunked from pickles, with a cool, tangy finish and a savory garlic note. Rituals include scooping onto crackers, spreading on sandwiches or pita, or pairing with crudités on a party tray. The label leans into clean-ish cues — chickpeas, olive oil, tahini — and lists “natural flavors,” but there’s no organic seal; packaging emphasizes convenience and flavor rather than child-focused graphics. Cultural positioning sits between health-conscious snacking and indulgent deli flair: appealing to urban professionals and families who want bold, ready-made flavors with recognizable brand trust. Processing context: this is a ready-to-eat packaged dip with added stabilizers and flavorings, made in a commercial facility rather than a home recipe. Overall it feels like a premium convenience product that trades homemade simplicity for shelf-stable texture and consistent flavor.

Common Questions about BH Dill Pickle Hummus
The Dill Pickle Hummus is relatively healthy when you consider it as a tasty dip or spread! At 70 calories per two tablespoons, it’s low in sugar and offers a decent amount of flavor without a ton of additives. However, 'healthy' can be subjective — it’s a fun, flavorful option but not a protein powerhouse or a fiber-rich snack.
