its ok plain, but you'll wanna add to it, i did garlic, parm and sea salt, better, but still needs more imho

Leaving a review since no one's reviewed this yet.

I just left a review for Yehuda hummus , which in my opinion is a notch slightly below this in taste, cost, and container size. The good news is neither Wild Garden nor Yehuda have preservatives.

I'll leave most of what I said in the Yehuda review, but the bottom line is I've found non-perishable hummus to be expensive and disappointing in both taste and ingredients. You would think that a company which is clearly not ethnically-geared, and has a lot of non-traditional (I wanted to write "illegitimate") hummus flavors, would be inferior to the authentic-sounding name brand imported all the way from Israel. Yeah, no. There's no need to bring that Yehuda crap all the way from Israel. Americans should be perfectly capable of making crappy canned hummus, and apparently we are, viz. Manishewitz canned hummus , currently unavailable or I'd be trying some. I tried a boxed dry "mix" variety once too and it was a disaster.

I've found Wild Whatever's taste to be the closest to the mass-produced "fresh" variety you find in the Costco refrigerated bins, which is really how you should go if you don't need it to be non-perishable. The fresh stuff can also last for weeks, especially if you don't mix it up, and keep a coating of olive oil over the top. Costco's the only place I've found to get a decent-sized container of the fresh stuff. The token "dip" size you'll find in grocery's regrigerated section is the same quality as the Costco fresh stuff, just mighty tiny, and ridiculously expensive for what it is.

Wild Whatever's glass jar has a wide mouth and short height, so it's geared for eating out of the container. Yehuda's can mouth is a little narrower, and can taller, but I've never had much of a problem eating that all the way from the can, too (I usually ignore the pull tab and open from the bottom, and pop the top at the end if I really want to clean it out).

Complaint mode on: I really don't think it would be THAT much more expensive to use real olive oil and some vestige of real lemon, instead of el-cheapo veggie oil and citric acid? Wild Whatever skips the oil route altogether. *Sigh*.

INGREDIENTS, since Amazon so graciously forgot:
Chick peas, tahini, water, sea salt, natural spices, citric acid.

Best hummus around. The ONLY hummus I can find without garlic (I have a food sensitivity to garlic). Because it comes in a jar, you don't have to worry about eating it before it goes bad, as you would with refrigerated hummus. When you open it, you might have to skim off a tiny amount of residue from the top (oxidization?) to make it more presentable, but it's totally worth it. Thank you for offering a garlic-free hummus - it's almost impossible to find, and I would otherwise have to make it from scratch.

We love hummus but are not going to the grocery store (where we usually buy SABRA hummus at PUBLIX) and so were looking for something we could buy through the mail. This hummus "dip" has a creamier texture than regular hummus, but we like it well enough. We also like the GLASS jars and are saving them for storing leftovers etc., as they are a nice size (10 ounces) and we're trying to reduce use of plastic for storage.

Delicious. I love this hummus. Certainly going to be a repeat order.
