Hummus House is proud to announce!

You can eat hummus on everything as a ‘dip’ for chips, veggies, on top of a salad, with a spoon, with pita bread and so on.

You will definitely love hummus! Because Hummus House is  100% homemade hummus! There are too many store-bought hummuses. However, homemade hummus always turns out so much better and fresher. From a nutrition point, it’s much healthier than artifical store-bought hummus. A lot of store-bought hummus, for example, is made with highly-processed and often GM-rapeseed, canola, or soybean oil. Whereas Hummus House is homemade, so it can use extra virgin olive oil instead, which is higher in monounsaturated fats and is a lot tastier too!

Another great thing is Hummus House uses fresh lemon juice, whereas store-bought varieties commonly contain bottled lemon juice.

Any discussion of what hummus is made from has to include OLIVE OIL as a main ingredient, and the oil’s quality greatly affects the quality of the dip as a whole.  While olive oil is any oil derived from the fruit of the olive tree, the processing of olive oil creates tremendous differences in the taste and nutrient density of the final product.  Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the purest form of olive oil, containing the least Oleic acid (created by fats broken down into fatty acids), and providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that lesser olive oils lack. The use of extra virgin olive oil in hummus denotes quality and greater health benefits.

Compared to other oils, extra virgin olive oil is “more stable than saturated fats like coconut oils, and oil with high smoke points such as avocado oil”.  It’s packed with vitamins and healthy fats shown to offer numerous health benefits. According to the FDA, eating two tablespoons of olive oil a day can reduce the risk of heart disease thanks to its monounsaturated fat content! Consuming olive oil can also combat of cardiovascular diseases, decrease blood pressure, and lower cholesterol.
