Useful tips for Traditional Hummus

The water from the chickpeas is called aquafaba. Save it! It’s an ingredient in our blueberry pancakes (as well as the pumpkin version).

Fresh garlic is best, but you can save some time by using minced (jarred) garlic.

Use more or less ice water to control the consistency. More ice water will make it creamier!
