I ranked the Houmous of Trader Joe’s, Costco, Whole Foods and Wegmans from the worst to the best.

Wegmans’ houmous garnished with garlic and chickpeas was by far my favorite dip.

Although houmous, a delicious dive or a propagation made from chickpeas, is available in almost all supermarkets, I wondered what is the best.

To find out, I bought Houmous from Whole Foods, Costco, Trader Joe’s and Wegmans and compared them.

I bought the most basic version available and I ate each dip with carrots and Bretzel chips. Here is how each distribution has stacked, from the worst to the best.

I started with the organic houmous of Trader Joe.

The organic houmous of Trader Joe had the lightest color of all the dips that I tried.

For the good of this comparison, I chose the ordinary organic houmous to trader Joe on the Mediterranean style and roasted garlic options.

Of all the houmous that I tried, it looked in the most dry and least dynamic color.

I thought that the biological houmous of Trader Joe was mediocre.

The houmous was not unpleasant, but the texture was floury rather than creamy. I thought there was too much cumin, and he needed a pinch of lemon.

Overall, it was good, but the flavor was not so exciting. I would buy it again if I needed Houmous and I was at Trader Joe, but I wouldn’t do my best to get it.

Kirkland’s signature Biological Roasted Pine Houmous was delicious.

Costco sells signing houmous packets Kirkland the size of a snack, but I selected the variety of 34 ounce biological pine nuts for this comparison.

The Houmous bathtub was bordered by a layer of oil and garnished with pine nuts, herbs, garlic and roasted peppers.

I do not know if the houmous of the signing of Kirkland would appeal to everyone.

Of all the brands of Houmous that I tried, this option has tasted the most bland without mixing in the garnishes. I also found that it was a bit grainy.

I thought that the mixture of trim in the houmous made it less appetizing, but the additional oil and the prominent red peppers improved the flavor.

I appreciated this houmous, but I could imagine that he was a divider. For example, I already knew that my children would not like him because of his red pepper flavor.

I would opt for a more traditional houmous if I served others.

Whole Foods’ 365 hummus was not too special.

My whole local foods had a wide selection of houmous, including a 365 store store choice handle.

The original 365 houmous had a beautiful color, looked creamy and came without filling.

For me, the Houmous 365 was great.

The 365 option was all that I could reasonably hope for in a grocery houmous. He was tasty and had the terror of the Tahini, distinct notes of Cumin and a velvety texture.

This houmous was good enough to buy again. In fact, I will not even care about other Whole Foods options.

Wegmans’ houmous came with a garnish of garlic and chickpeas.

The Wegmans I visited offered an overwhelming selection of store brand Houmous, including pickle, Bagel and coriander in jalapeño options.

Although they all look delicious, I decided to stick to the simplest houmous for this taste test.

Wegmans’ houmous was my favorite.

Wegmans’ houmous was a cup over the competition for the first bite. Even before mixing with the roasted-shaded garnish and chickpea, this houmous stands out for its humid and creamy texture and its brilliant agricultural flavor.

With the garlic mixed, it was undoubtedly the best houmous that I have ever found in a supermarket – and better than a lot of dips that I had in restaurants. I finished the container of Wegmans’ Houmous on the same day that I did this taste test.

My nearest Wegmans is at a 40 -minute bike ride, but I will make this trip again for this houmous.
