Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas?

Yes, you can use canned chickpeas if you're short on time. However, dried chickpeas soaked overnight tend to yield a creamier texture and richer flavor.

Do I need to remove the skins from the chickpeas?

While removing the skins can result in an even smoother texture, it's not necessary. If you have the time and patience, you can gently rub the chickpeas between your fingers to loosen the skins before blending.

I don't have tahini. Can I skip it or substitute it with something else?

Tahini adds a distinct flavor and creaminess to hummus, but if you don't have it, you can substitute with natural unsweetened peanut butter or omit it altogether. Keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different.

My hummus turned out too thick. How can I thin it out?

Simply adding more ice cubes.
