Looks good, but how many servings are in it for the calorie count?
Wow! Very tasty. We eat hummus a lot around here. This tastes like the Lebanese restauraunt we have here in Michigan City, Indiana.
The days of blithely and blindly eating whatever we want are gone â even for people in *perfect* health. We know so much more about food and its impact now. (Sorry for repeat - site cuts off ampersands apparently)
The days of blithely
@Redwine707 - Nutritional info is *useless* w/out a serving size - basic recipe info - to peg it to. Figuring out the nutritional info of a multi-food dish is tougher than you think. For some, i.e. diabetics, it's critical data. I spend a lot of time "figuring it out for (my)self," but I expect more of an assist from a site like this. The days of blithely
Why is everybody so worried about the calories, fiber etc on this site?
Figure it out for yourself or keep lacking common sense.
Also, for finding fiber content, just check the cans of the ingredients youre using. And there are charts online that tell the fiber content of produce, like the tomatoes . It wouldn't be hard to figure out yourself, then the same chart and method could be reused to figure out Nut. info of recipes you make up.
This hummus is Very tasty and easy to make. Absolutely love it!
I looked at the Lemon-Garlic Hummus recipe and it listed the serving size as a 1/4 cup with 2 grams of fiber. This must be approximately the same as that recipe.
What is the serving size and the dietary fiber content?
the fiber content is not listed . What is it?
super easy and delicious. definitely spiced up, but not spicy...
