Instant Hummus

Ingredients

Garbanzo flour, crushed roasted white sesame, lemon powder (maltodextrin, lemon juice, lemon oil – tiny amount), garlic powder, cumin, sea salt

Shelf stable, nutritious, and delicious

Kids love it; helps to get their vegetables in!

1 bag equal to (4) Four 10 oz. prepared Hummus’ with no waste

Just add water

[DO not add extra virgin olive OIL, who needs it! I might add a bit of smashed garbanzo beans and/or avocado.]

Make as little or as much as you want: convenient, easy to make, easy to use, and easy to eat.

Doesn’t spoil!

But okay, it is a bit high in sodium. The best recipe for oilfree hummus is using garbanzo beans as a base & whipping it up with some sort of handheld “stick blender”.

Conversion Chart: U.S. to Metric in the Kitchen

In most nations their recipes are measured in the Metric System. The USA is one of the only countries that uses the Imperial System. We are officially on metric now, my trigonometry professor was so excited when he announced this news to us. He warned that our citizens might be slow to adapt. Boy was he right! He told us this in 1973.

Here is an article about translating between Metric & Imperial. Maybe one day we will adapt… or not! 🙂
