What is hummus?

Hummus (in Hungarian also spelt “hummusz”) is a creamy Middle Eastern dish, one of the most important products and symbols of healthy eating in Europe. The main ingredient of hummus is chickpeas, which is mixed with sesame paste (better known as tahini), olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. We also offer other versions of this classic dip, seasoned with popular flavours. Our hummus is one of the most versatile kitchen staples: it can be served as a dipping sauce or spread on sandwiches, but it can also be used as a side dish with your favourite meat dishes (such as spring rolls or Easter ham) or vegan and vegetarian dishes. And did you know that hummus has its own special day? International Hummus Day is celebrated on 13 May – by dipping in with gusto!
