Homus/humus, good or bad?

[RichardE]

Would homus/humus count as good food or bad food? Specially soaked in olive oil (which is good for you right?). I'm curious because I have been eating it every day from the Lebaneese food restaurant downtown where the owner and I are good friends.

I usually find that stuff at hookah bars.

Good stuff. I love it.

Oh man, I can eat it everyday. Im pretty sure the olive oil and pita bread kill the good side of it though lol

 

[miniMUNCH]

Humus is yummy.

It is delicious. Damn, I want hummus now.

I like it with little slices of cucumber and good olive oil. yum

 

[Ameesh]

i love it warm pita with some hummus, olive oil and paprika, good resturants will give you olives and pickled turnips as well. all a good combo

 

[HardcoreRobot]

hummus, tasty

 

[Chronoshock]

I imagine its pretty good for you, especially considering it compared to other dips/sauces. It consists of chickpeas, olive oil, lemon, and garlic. The olive oil is a source of fat, but it's one of the better sources

Hummus = good

ground garbonzo beans and olive oil... hmm...

if i'm just looking for a meat and dip meal, i have on occasion gotten like a half pound or more of gyro meat, and a tub of hummus, and just dip it in and eat it.

really good.

Thats nice but if you're using garbanzo beans, you're not having hummus. I hope you like your babaganoush though.

i don't like i at all... my parents love it and so does my ex... i just can't stand it.

Hummus...tasty!! I just had some last morning. Great source of protein. I could eat it everyday.

I have it for my after workout meal. Usually in a Whole Wheat Wrap with Tabulee and what ever left over meat I have from dinner the night before. I use it as a spread, then put Tabulee on it followed by the meat with a side of Salsa. It's only 50 calories a tablespoon so it's a great alternative for Mayo. I prefer the garlic Hummus. Sometimes I use it for an alternative for butter when I make Mashed Potatoes (either Hummus or Olive oil)

babaganoush is ground eggplant. hummus is ground chick peas/garbanzos.

Olive oil is the healthier of the fats, so it still has calories and will put weight on you. It is part of a Mediterranean diet and considered heart healthy.

I'm not a big fan of hummus. I do like it, there are just other things that I like more. I've made my own by tossing cans of garbonza beans in a food processor and adding oil and spices.

You seem to have found a type of hummus you like. What is in it? Maybe I'll give my food processor a spin.

I'm not going to call homus either good or bad. It's your personal choicee; you can live whatever lifestyle you want.

hummus is made with garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas). Babaganoush is eggplant.

Yeah it will put weight on you if you consume more calories than you burn. You need fats in your diet to be healthy and the Omega 3 fats from Olive Oil and Cold Seawater fish like Salmon is the best fats to consume.
