What is hummes?
Dear ahillman810,
Hummus is spelled many different ways, but is a healthy treat of chickpea paste, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
Hummus has a very low glycemix index - 6. For 2 tablespoons of hummus, depending on the brand, you typically get 5g of carbs with 1g of that being sugar. That ends up being 4g of net carbs. While you shouldn't guzzle this stuff down by the vat-load, it is PERFECT for putting on celery sticks. Sue
Hummus:: a paste of pureed chickpeas usually mixed with sesame oil or sesame paste and eaten as a dip or sandwich spread
