    I have never had it and for some reason, I am afraid to try it............

    On one of the low carb websites I belong to, everyone eats it and uses fresh veggies such as cucumber slices, baby carrots, radishes, celery. pepper strips, etc................

    Why am I so scared to try it? That goes in the same boat as egg plant.....
    I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of it plain. I mean, I can eat it, but I love hummus with spices or peppers or garlic in it.

    Give it a try maybe! You might be surprised!

    One thing I will say is the texture is a little odd at first. But work past that and you will be fine! It's kind of like a bean dip texture.

    I LOVE baba ghanoush. I keep mine pretty simple:

    1 eggplant ( cut length wise and roast for 30-40 minutes at 400 face down on lightly oiled pan)
    1/4 cup sesame tahini
    2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
    fresh lemon juice (to your taste)
    1-2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
    sea salt

    Only thing I like more than hummus. I know you are "supposed" to refrigerate it. But it is sooo good warm on whole wheat pitas that are toasted.

    thank you, thank you!!!
