How many calories... in hummus?
Posted on Jun 13th 2007 6:00AM by Brigitte DaleFiled Under: How Many Calories?
When I was younger, hummus was one of those foods that I just knew I didn't like, even though I'd never tasted it. I was in college before I ever gave hummus a chance, and it turns out that I love that way it tastes! Now, hummus and pita bread at a favorite local restaurant has become a "girls' night out" tradition. I know that hummus contains chickpeas and garlic, but other than those two ingredients, it's always been sort of a mystery to me.
Hummus sounds healthy, but is it? I just read that one serving of hummus is considered to be 2 tablespoons. (Oops, I have apparently been eating about 4 servings every girls night!) How many calories are in one serving of hummus?
A) 40 calories
B) 70 calories
C) 90 calories
D) 120 calories
The correct answer is B) 70 calories. Most hummus recipes include chickpeas, garlic, sesame seeds, olive oil and spices. This can be a healthy appetizer choice, if (and this is a big if!) you're able to keep your intake to just one two-tablespoon serving.
