Hummus, simply meaning “chickpeas” in Arabic, is a staple of the Trader Joe’s fresh dip refrigerators. While we love to toy with the classic chickpea-based spread and make funky, creative additions, none are more pure than a newly opened container of Trader Joe’s Organic Hummus.

Our supplier starts with the star of the show: our favorite nutty legume, the chickpea, and blends it into an incredibly creamy base for its supporting acts. A couple spoonfuls of sesame tahini, a splash of oils, garlic and lemon to add tang to the sweet chickpea blend, and salt and cumin round out the pure, organic ingredient list. Don’t allow the unassuming, beige dip basking in its re-sealable bowl fool you, Trader Joe’s Organic Hummus is a classic that is far more than the sum of its parts. This proprietary blend of these age-old ingredients has us salivating for that next dollop of Organic Hummus. So much so that we may just double dip when no one’s peekin’!
