Is hummus gluten and dairy-free?

Yes, by its traditional recipe, hummus is both gluten and dairy-free. It is made from chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings, none of which contain gluten or dairy. However, it’s important to be aware of potential variations in commercially prepared versions that might incorporate other ingredients with gluten or dairy. Always read the label when purchasing store-bought hummus and confirm from restaurants that the hummus served adheres to the traditional recipe to ensure it suits your dietary needs.
