10 Best Supermarket Hummus | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

This hummus goes back to basics, and that is definitely no bad thing. The flavours are subtle and traditional, infusing the chickpeas and tahini paste with lemon and garlic. It also has a lower fat content than most regular recipes. 

What makes this hummus really stand out, though, is its organic ingredients. It also does not contain any artificial ingredients. This is not only good for you, it is also better for the planet, so you can tuck into your hummus with a clear conscience, a win-win situation!

If you don't want to limit yourself to just one flavour in your hummus, this option comes with a huge range of herbs and spices which have been blended together to give you a taste sensation. It has so many, including coriander, chilli, cumin, coriander and ginger.

Chickpeas provide the perfect backdrop to this taste explosion, one that will add flavour to whatever you decide to pair it with, whether its to be eaten as a snack or part of a Moroccan-inspired meal. 

 By filling this hummus full of exciting, spicy flavours like chilli and red pepper, it manages to pack a tasty punch whilst still fulfilling its promise of being low in fat. In fact, it has the lowest fat content of any hummus on this list. 

It is also incredibly good value, being one of the cheapest products on this list. This hummus really does have it all. Or, in the case of the fat content, it doesn't have very much of it at all!

The combination of creamy hummus and sweet caramelised onions is sure to be a hit. This dip is rich and – although the inclusion of sweet caramelised onion might lead you to guess otherwise – the sugar content is not too high. The fat content might seem high, but it is still less than other non-reduced-fat options. 

Alongside the onion, you can also find balsamic vinegar on the list of ingredients, which offers a sourness to counterbalance the sweetness from the main flavour. Even better, this product doesn't have any artificial flavourings or preservatives. 

If you are looking for all the flavour of a normal hummus but are wanting to reduce your fat and calories consumption, look no further than this option. It has a classic flavour with minimal extra ingredients – even artificial ones – to make sure you are getting all the goodness on offer without the drawbacks. 

Few extra ingredients does mean it is lacking any exciting flavours and, while it might be better for you, it misses some of the richness that the normal version has to offer. If you are on a low calorie diet, however, this is a great everyday dip to reach for without worrying about extra calories. 

If you like a bit of spice, but not too much, this hummus is the solution. Red peppers bring a rich sweetness to the gentle flavour of chickpeas, and the addition of the harissa only helps to enhance this. 

This brand brings in speciality produce from Greece and Cyprus, so you can rest assured that you will be getting the real deal. Although the price of this hummus might seem like a bargain, you do get less hummus which might mean this dip doesn't stretch as far as other options. 

This hummus has been blended to give it a very creamy texture, but the toppings of whole chickpeas and pine nuts ensure that there is still something to get your teeth into. Promising an authentic flavour, it is rich with the oils and tahini. 

The recipe, although authentic, is not free from artificial ingredients. This hummus is also shockingly high in fat, so is definitely one to be enjoyed in moderation, which is sometimes easier said than done. 

If the flavour of classic hummus is bit too mellow for you, then look no further than this alternative. The inclusion of chilli is bound to give you the kick you crave and this spiciness pairs perfectly with the gentle flavour of the chickpeas. 

On the downside, though an authentic Israeli recipe, this hummus is a more expensive option and has quite a few artificial ingredients. It also has a high amount of fat, which some might want to avoid. 

If you love the controversial spread Marmite, this is the next thing to try. Two popular spreads are combined to make this super spread, which could well be the ultimate savoury toast topping. 

High in flavour and, sadly, high in fat too, this is perhaps not the best choice for an everyday snack. The ingredients in this product are also a lot more numerous than in more traditional recipes and include milk, a fact that some hummus purists might take issue with. 

If you're trying to shed some pounds but still want to enjoy a creamy, delicious hummus, this 30% less fat option from Sainsbury's is a great pick! Made according to the original hummus recipe, it uses real chickpeas and tahini sesame seed paste to give you a rich nutty flavour with delectable texture. 

For a zing of tanginess, you can taste a hint of lemon juice which gives a much welcomed freshness and brightness. With only 8.7 g of fat per 100 g, this is the lowest fat option on our list! The only downside of course, is that the low fat recipe may not be as decadent as a non-fat version.
