What is hummus?

Hummus is a dip made primarily from chickpeas and tahini. Most recipes also use a combination of garlic, olive oil and lemon juice to give the dip a flavour kick. Our classic hummus recipe uses dried chickpeas, but you can also used canned ones (just make sure to remove the skins for a super smooth result).

Can you freeze hummus?

Yes! God, isn't freezing stuff the best? It can be frozen for up to four months (any more and the taste and texture of your lovely hummus might be affected) and then defrosted overnight in the fridge. If the texture isn't looking quite right after thawing, you can stir through some olive oil to get it back to it's usual consistency.

Is hummus gluten-free?

It's good news for gluten-free people, because YES, hummus is gluten-free. If you're using one of our delicious recipes, then it's pretty much guaranteed to be gluten-free, but if you're buying it ready-made you'll need to check the label.
