Is hummus vegan?

99% of the time – yes! The basic ingredients in typical vegan hummus are chickpeas, olive oil, and tahini (sesame seed paste) with some amounts of lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and sea salt.

Different commercial flavours will contain other ingredients like parmesan cheese, but a quick scan of the nutrition facts will tell you that!

How long does hummus last? And does hummus go bad?

Most hummus brands will indicate that their product is best eaten within 7 days of opening. Homemade hummus is best kept for 3-4 days, as a homemade vegan hummus recipe will not have preservatives. 

Hummus should be stored in the fridge.

Carbs in hummus

A tablespoon of hummus usually has 2-3 grams of carbohydrate and 1 gram of fibre, leaving with you with 1-2 grams of net carbs.
