I, myself, have never really eaten hummus because years ago when I first knew about it, I was a lot younger, not so much into new foods, it looked weird to me, and the taste was just…off, and I never tried it again. However, my oldest daughter, who has worked with a lot of people from India, has convinced me that I really need to give it another shot due to all the flavor varieties there are now. Also, I recently saw a cardiologist who suggested VERY STRONGLY that I change my diet to lower my very high cholesterol. So I came across this post while searching for heart healthy foods to slowly add or change in my diet. I am very shocked at the extremely rude comments from some of the people. I’m sure most people know that hummus is made with chickpeas, and if anyone would bother to look, the title of this post said hummus made without chickpeas. I love veggies and dip, but according to the papers my cardiologist gave me, it wouldn’t be a good idea to eat hummus more than 2-3 times a week due to causing gassiness and other issues, especially since I already have those issues. Having a healthy alternative makes me happy and I can’t wait to try some of these, along with some regular chickpea hummus. Sorry there were Debbie’s that commented (Debbie Downers).
Thanks Liz for the work you did on this post and I’m so sorry it got heated. Probably has no health issues at all or have to do without.
My main allergy is soy, but in the last 3 years it’s hit as cranky as even black – eyed peas and green beans. Thanksgiving a mess. Thank you and be blessed.
So grateful for these recipes! Love the consistency of hummus but chickpeas and beans don’t like me! Can’t wait to try!! ♥️
For those of you who have saying ‘hummus’ means ‘chickpea/garbanzo’ you are absolutely correct.
However, too many people have correlated the term ‘hummus’ with any dip that is like this…similar to how ‘Kleenex’ is now used for facial tissue even though ‘Kleenex’ is a brand name for facial tissue. So, regardless of how irksome it is, ‘hummus’ is the term used for a dip like this for the general populace and I doubt you will get that to change if you aren’t in a country where hummus originated.
That being said – these dips look delicious!
I love humous but have just found out I have an intolerance to chickpeas so was gutted that I couldn’t have my beloved humous anymore! This site is great and I’m definitely going to try the sweet potato and cauliflower ones, thank you x
I can’t eat chickpeas anymore and I love hummus. Thank you for all the great recipes. I can’t wait to try some of these.
Yay! I’m so glad this list was able to help!
OMG, the literal definition of hummus is chickpea. STOP THE MADNESS AND CALLING THIS HUMMUS!
Some people have SOY anaphylactic allergies and that includes beans (all) and peas (all).
So yes, the originals basic ingredient has changed, but that doesn’t mean WE, allergy sufferers have to do without.
This is not hummus. Stop bastardizing a culture food Karen!
You just blew my mind! NO chickpeas! I’m excited to try the white bean and sundried tomato.
I had no idea you could make hummus from cauliflower. I’m going to try making the curried cauliflower hummus.
