Is Hummus Gluten Free? Everything You Need to Know
Hummus has become a staple in many households, thanks to its delicious taste and versatility. But for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, the question often arises: Is hummus gluten free? At Herbivore Hampers, we understand the importance of dietary needs and want to ensure you have all the information you need.
In this blog, we’ll delve into the ingredients of hummus, explore its gluten-free status, and highlight some of our savoury gluten free hampers that pair perfectly with this beloved dip.
Is Hummus Gluten Free?
Store-Bought Hummus
Most store-bought hummus brands are gluten free, but it’s always best to read the label. Look for products that specifically state they are gluten free and have been produced in a gluten-free facility to avoid cross-contamination.
Homemade Hummus
Making hummus at home is a great way to ensure it’s gluten free. By using simple, fresh ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious and safe hummus dip. Plus, homemade hummus allows you to customise the flavour to your liking - try out this delicious beetroot hummus recipe for example!
Ingredients in Traditional Hummus
Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip made primarily from chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. These ingredients are naturally gluten free, making traditional hummus a safe choice for those avoiding gluten.
