Best hummus according to redditors

What do you mean by 'tahini'?

As far as I'm aware tahini is just straight up ground sesame seeds. The oil in a jar of tahini is what was naturally in the seeds (like how peanut butter can have oil on top but it's just the solids separating from the peanut oil). It definitely doesn't involve olive oil at any point.

This is the stuff I have in my fridge (100% ground hulled sesame seeds), though I get it for about half the amzn price from my local Mediterranean store.

Wild Garden Traditional Hummus Dip, 1.76 Ounce (Pack of 24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001HTG624/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_e8EyxbZ9M6Q2S

Try these single serving in a paper container and long shelf life. Might make things a little easier

Every night I have a base of either quinoa or rice, prepared in my rice cooker with various vegetables and spices. If rice, I'll roll it up with nori for homemade veggie rolls.

With dinner I have a 12 ounce glass of water with two tablespoons of flax and one tablespoon of chia.

I buy my pinto beans and black beans loose in bulk at the local grocery store when picking up my vegetables, usually around 5 or 6 pounds of each at a time.

Cumin, garlic powder, tahini, and dry garbanzo beans go for a good homemade hummus in a food processor. Needs a fresh lemon or two squeezed into the tahini. Original recipe had olive oil and salt, I leave out the oil entirely and either cut the salt down to a dash or none at all.

I keep oats and almond meal on hand to make pdb cookies with the same food processor, just add a banana or two, cinnamon, nutmeg, almond butter, and raisins if you like. The original recipe called for dates and I said eat me I'm doing raisins.

I got peppermint in bulk to make tea with, both by itself as well as mixing with chamomile, mugwort, etc.

I keep almost all of the above in these convenient cereal containers to both extend shelf life, shelf space, and remove any branding or advertising. Mason jars are also awesome!

Don't forget you can dehydrate your own food as well!

Edit: I don't work for Amazon, I just live no-car and order like this to survive!

You can also find the Wild Garden hummus /u/internaloutdoors mentioned on Amazon. It's about on par with most hummus made by people who aren't from the Middle East -- bland, dry, overly tart and a bit chalky. :-)

I find it inedible without some assistance. Mixing it with some olive oil, salt and pepper helps. With garlic paste, it's actually pretty awesome. Garlic buttons travel well. You can mash one up at the bottom of you cup/pot, squeeze in the hummus and mix it up with some olive oil.

I bought Baron's off Amazon based on a recommendation here. It's thinner, so not much mixing to do (and I'm not left with an inch of unmixed tahini left on the bottom). It's not as bitter, though it's still an overwhelming flavor on its own. I use it in dressings, never plain.

The 3 T of hummus itself was 120 calories, it’s the sabra roasted pine nut and I estimated the cucumber to be 50 calories but lmk if there is better hummus

How do you get it back to a dip-like state? Adding water just seems... no.

I was thinking something like these guys (there are also ones of nut butters)

On the flip side there is PB2

I think it might be your tahini! I used to have the same problem- I love tahini sauce in restaurants and I love hummus, but the tahini I bought tasted so bitter it overwhelmed every recipe. I tried a Whole Foods brand tahini as well as a few normal grocery store ones and they were all the same.

Then today I went to the Middle Eastern market and bought a different one. Holy crap, that vile garbage from the grocery store does not even deserve to wear the tahini name. This new stuff is creamy, slightly sweet, absolutely perfect. I could eat it from the jar. They have it on Amazon, but it seems like freshness is relevant so it might be worth visiting an ethnic market if you have one.

Best of luck!

This is the Tahini I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019R2O3UO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
