Roots Hummus Named Group Favorite by MyRecipes

Roots hummus was, by far, the group favorite. While this brand’s original hummus is not perfectly smooth in texture, the detectable pieces of chickpeas give the spread a homemade quality we really enjoyed. Beyond that, in terms of texture, this is a full-bodied hummus that’s whipped into a delightfully fluffy product. The tahini flavoring is fully present in this brand’s hummus, but not overpowering or bitter. Neither is this hummus overly tangy; that said, some editors felt that it could use just a touch more acidity. Aside from producing the as-close-to-homemade-as-you’re-ever-gonna-buy hummus, bonus points to Roots brand for their modern, well-designed packaging that’s easy to spot in the myriad of other dip options in the chilled, prepared food section of the grocery store. All of the spread’s ingredients are labeled front and center on the lid of the container for a transparent view of everything that’s inside.
