I was just wondering if the fiber quality of commercial hummus might be less than that of whole beans due the grinding.

    Don't think so. The fiber is still there (unless there is some other process used commercially that removes fibre - wouldn't think so). Fiber particles are microscopic. Blending doesn't remove it.

    Hummus is astronomically high in calories.

    Hummus is high in calories. Here is an interesting article on hummus comparing commercial to homemade. It does cut the calories.

    Home made will be fewer calories. Probably more fiber because it will be more actual hummus. mmmm, hummus.

    Agree - I eat by the tablespoon as an add-on to other food - I find it cuts my appetite

    Hummus is a healthy fat- I have been avoiding it because I am avoiding legumes right now, but I have always found it to be a great addition to my diet.
