Sainsbury's Fresh Houmous

Houmous..... Well where do I start. Houmous as far as I am aware originates from the Middle East and has started to become a very popular food item in Europe. I have always been a fan of houmous and have eaten it for many years and have tried many different varieties. Its core ingredient is chickpeas which I absolutely love and to make houmous they are all mashed up to form a puree with oils being added and sometimes a few spices. Be aware that there are also many ways of spelling its name eg Humus, Hummus and Homus to name just a few. The product I am going to review today is Sainsbury's Fresh Houmous which out of all the different flavours (some include ...  Read the complete review

Though nothing beats freshly made houmous, Sainsbury's attempt comes very close. Houmous is a delicious dip/spread that originates from the middle east. It is primarily made with crushed cooked chick peas, which are then mixed with olive oil, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, salt and garlic. It can be enjoyed by vegetarians, and provides a good source of nutrition. Uses: Houmous is a great party dip, which nearly everyone will enjoy. I manage to spread Houmous on nearly anything. It is a lovely when served with pita bread, or bread sticks, crackers, rice cakes, and I do quite enjoy it with crispy egg plant. My opinion: I ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Homous is a great dip/spread that is very well priced. A tub costs on average 99p and there is also a low fat version available. The homous comes in a plastic tub with a sealed outer edge to tear away and in a cardboard label. The dip is made predominantly from chickpeas along with tahini, lemon juice and garlic. It originates from the Middle East and is a popular choice with mezze. The nutritional values for the dip, are unfortunately quite high in calories and fat, with there being 144 calories per quarter and 12.7g. There is however a ligher option available! It is best to be kept in the fridge. It is ...  Read the complete review

Houmous is made from chick peas, garlic and a few other things! If I knew then I would make it myself! I bought the reduced fat version of sainsburys houmous, which is exactly the same, but has more green on the little circle of health that they put on all their own products. It comes in a plastic tub with the cardboard wrapped around it. All the information about whats in the product is on the cardboard. The good for you version tastes less garlicy than the full fat version, but I am watching my weight so always now buy the good for you one. It costs around £1.50 in sainsburys, and can be found in the salad pot and dips section. It needs ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's olive&sundried tomato houmous is a Mediterranean style dip made with chickpeas and sesame paste with olives and sundried tomatoes. Since we discovered the magic taste of the Arabic natural and healthy houmous, we can't get enough. It is very good for you because is made from one of the healthiest grain on Earth. My personal opinion to serve it is on a beautiful slice of toasted ciabatta. It tastes marvellous if you have as a side dish a fresh tomatoes salad dressed in virgin olive oil. If I do like it is not just because of the plain houmous, this one is that special one, mixing two type of olives and they are: the pitted green olives and ...  Read the complete review
