About these values

The record is hummus as sold in shops. Recipes vary, so a label may show other values. The USDA record is "Hummus, commercial" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 174289). It gives 7.78 g of protein and 237 kcal per 100 g.

Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 tablespoon of hummus: 15 × 7.78 ÷ 100 = 1.2 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.

A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
