Classic hummus: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers packaged hummus products, typically made from chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, and garlic. The ingredient list usually shows these core components, with variations in the order and specific additions. For example, some may include additional oils, herbs, or spices. The primary ingredients like chickpeas and tahini are generally listed first. Nutrition labels provide information on energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, fibre, and salt content per serving. For products in this category, the main nutritional considerations often relate to their fat and salt content. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends that foods high in fat, salt, and sugar should be eaten less often and in smaller amounts. Checking the ingredient list for the position of oils can give an indication of their relative proportion. Salt content is also declared on the label, and the UK government advises adults to have no more than 6g of salt a day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
