Athenos Roasted Garlic Hummus Review

Tub Size: I forgot
Cost: $2.50 at Safeway
Dipping Utensils: Carrots, tortilla chips, saltine crackers, salami, cheddar cheese

Review: I decided my first foray into the flavored hummus game would be of the roasted garlic variety. Initially I was a bit apprehensive as the combination of the roasted garlic and the carrot seemed to clash. I began to warm to the taste as I ventured through the tub, and by the end of it, I was actually quite pleased. Interestingly enough, I found that I very much enjoyed dipping salami into the hummus. I felt the garlic tones of the hummus really accented the sharpness of the salami. The first couple ounces of the tub left a little to be desired, but by the end of it, I was absolutely fiending for more of this Athenos jam. Don't be discouraged if at first you are hesitant to give in to the power of the hummus. It will win you over. I would give the Athenos Roasted Garlic Hummus a 4/5 chickpeas. Overall, it is a solid, entry-level hummus for those new to the hummus game. By the end of the tub, I was basically humming in my pants.

This hummus was very hummderwhelming. I should have foreseen this going into it. "Eating Right Hummus for calorie counting", What in the world was I thinking. I haven't counted calories since I was in high school during my fat days. I chose this hummus because it was cheap, and boy did I make a mistake. The flavor is so mediocre. It doesn't do anything for me. Even when dipping salami (a meat full of flavor) in this hummus it tasted boring and bland. I can't hummunicate how average this hummus is.  It even gives a bitter aftertaste to remind you like an annoying little kid that you just took a bite of it. The little kid looks you right in the mouth and flips you off for eating him. Overall I give Eating Right Traditional Hummus 2 chickpeas out of 5.

I have to be honest at first I was not a huge fan of this type of hummus. I typically love Sabra brand hummus but this particular brand came off a little too tomatoey. The hummus itself is flavored with sundried tomatoes AND there is a core of actual sun dried tomatoes on top. After getting to know the hummus a little bit and eating about 1/4 of the tub I started to really enjoy it. The airiness of the tomato and the creaminess of the hummus really blended together well in my pallet. It was a hummazing change of heart. Overall I would rate this hummus 3.5 out of 5 Chickpeas

I want to make it abundantly clear that I do not know what to look for in a tub of hummus. I'm a feel player. If the hummus makes me feel a certain type of way, I'm into it. Let me tell you, this hummus danced all over my palette like 2007 Shakira. I chose to attack the tub with the Kirkland Brand Tortilla Chips, which is such a great deal it deserves a blog itself. The bitterness of the salt is immediately juxtaposed with the sweetness of the chickpeas but then--BAM!--the sun dried tomatoes packs its own potent punch. I'm usually on my roasted garlic grind, but this tub gave me another flavor to add to the collection. I'd give it 4.17/5 chickpeas, just because I don't feel certain that many dipping instruments would mesh well with the strong flavor profile of the sun dried tomatoes. Thanks, Sabra.
