Athenos Hummus

Moderate histamine

This hummus is moderate, built on chickpeas, tahini, sunflower oil, garlic, and a little citric acid.

It is a simple blend of pantry staples with nothing aged, cured, or fermented in the mix.

  • Chickpeas and tahini base — the core is cooked chickpeas blended with sesame tahini and sunflower oil, which is why the product sits at moderate rather than high.

  • Small extras — dried garlic, salt, a touch of citric acid, and preservatives like sorbic acid round it out, and none of these are strong histamine drivers on their own.

If you want something gentler, a freshly made batch gives you more control over what goes in.
