I have never had hummus before but I keep seeing that a lot of you eat it. What does it taste like? Where do you buy it?

    I'm not sure how to even describe how it tastes---bean dip? (that is, essentially, what hummus is). It's great if you're a garlic lover! Seriously though, it has a very unique nutty, garlic-y, bean dip sort of taste. But it's delicious and I recommend!

    You can buy it in the deli section of your grocery store--

    Love hummus - the problem is if you eat it with crackers it is easy to eat to much. Here in New Zealand we find it in the freezer aisles - with the pesto, salsa and other dips......you will also find it in the deli section...

    Taste .....mmmm... I always get the Roasted Garlic - so I guess it tastes a bit of garlic...

    It's sort of hard to describe, but I love it and eat it almost daily at lunch! (I put it on a wrap with veggies, feta cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice.) I like the roasted red pepper and the garlic versions. It's also good with pita chips and as a veggie dip.

    Normally in the deli section of the stores. Hummus is one of those food types that you either love or hate on first taste. It's made with chickpeas, garbanzo beans and roasted sesame seeds ground up in a paste. Get the flavored style. I love the garlic. Roasted red pepper is good also.

    It tastes like bean dip but you can get lots of different flavors. I like the spicy red pepper. I put it on tostadas instead of refried beans and I like it with fresh veggies too.

    Everything everyone said ^^, it's delicious and you should try the different flavors. Good on sandwiches as a mayo substitute too. Tonight using with veggies as a "dip" .

    I make my own at home so I can control the flavor and fat content. Hummus is made from cooked garbanzo beans which are pretty mild. I put a lot of garlic and lemon in my homemade hummus and I grind it to be fairly thick, because that's how I like it.

    Most of the store-bought versions are very good too, but it's also cheap and easy to make at home.

    It's a chick pea dip, so imagine ground chick peas with spices... I love the roasted pepper one and the one with chilli... but there is a whole variety ^^ good stuff for dipping

    Its made from chick peas I think but I'd never had them before so wasn't sure if I'd like plain flavour. I tried a flavoured one with tomato and peppers which I know I do like and can only taste them really so still not sure what chick peas actually taste like!

    Hummus is great. It does have a garlic taste. It has a different kind of consistency. Almost gritty. They sell it in grocery stores, like Athenos, but it’s the best from a Greek restaurant. It’s good with veggies or pita bread. And i prefer it warm.
