Ranking Grocery Store Hummus From Worst To Best
NEWS
By ROBYN BLOCKER
12. Fresh Cravings
Fresh Cravings' dill pickle hummus tastes a bit like yellow potato salad, with too much vinegar and not enough dill. However, the texture is nice and creamy.
11. Sabra Classic
Sabra Classic Hummus has a nice texture, creamy and thick, but a very strong bitter flavor with a tinge of sourness that customers tend to complain about.
10. Sabra Pine Nut
The Sabra pine nut hummus features the same strong, bitter flavor shared by the classic hummus, though the spices and red bell pepper temper it a little.
It also shares the nice creaminess of the classic variety, and the pine nuts add a pleasant, complementary texture when you bite through them.
9. Simple Truth Organic
Filled with the typical ingredients, this hummus has a fairly smooth texture on the tongue and a much more pleasant flavor than Sabra's version.
It starts off almost sweet, but it fades to more predictable notes with no bitterness and just a hint of lemon. On its own, it's a perfectly respectable plain hummus.
8. Marketside
Marketside's olive tapenade hummus has good flavor, without any bitterness, and a fairly creamy consistency before its toppings are mixed in.
Once mixed, the green, black, and Kalamata olives and capers take the spotlight. If you don't like the umami-rich, tangy sourness of these ingredients, you won't like this.
