I would love to try hummus, but I am totally unfamilar with it, and no one I know eats hummus either. Can anyone give me guidance on good hummus? I live on the East Coast, so if you know any brands that are this side of the country, please let me know.........................

    Sabra is very good, as are several quality store brands. I reccomend going to a local Mediteranean restaurant in your area and buying a pint from them. Stay away from the Athenos brand, as it has High-Fructose Corn Syrup in it. I like to just put hummus on any low-cal breads as my condiment and I like to eat it with fresh carrots/celery/cauliflower, etc., pretzels or low-fat rice cakes. Not bad in calories either.

    try making your own (once you buy one of the store bought versions & know that you like it) That way you can control exactly what's in it

    I agree, making your own if far better and tastier. I can give you a recipe if you want one. Cant help on brands being that I am not on the continent as you!

    My hat's off to those of you that make hummus. I did it one time and it is not easy.

    The recipe I have is not hard, I am sure there are some that are though. Boil the chickpeas, roast the garlic, mush together in a blender with the herbs, lemon juice etc. :) Tastes a million times better than any store bought stuff.
