Many have tried making Hummus only to find that it's an art form and it really takes persistence to perfect it. The most crucial part of great-tasting Hummus is of course the chickpea.  At Hummus Place we have the utmost respect for the legume and we make sure to use just the right kind so that our Hummus remains the most delicious, but it's not that simple.  We are constantly hunting for perfect chickpeas and we'll clue you in on three important tips.

1) The chickpea needed to make the best hummus is not the Mexican chickpea / garbanzo bean / Spanish chickpea variety – so keep looking

2) Chickpeas come in all shapes and sizes, but it's the smallest and most circular chickpeas that do the trick.

3) Its not easy hunting through heaps of chickpeas, but we do it because we love it and that's the most valuable ingredient of them all.
