In reply to tara. From what I have read, the baking soda helps to soften the beans and makes the hummus a little easier on your tummy.

Just curious, why the baking soda in the water with dried beans?

In reply to Katie. I have been able to find tahini at my local Safeway and a few other locally owned stores. It can be a bit of trouble to find but is definitely worth it. I'm really not sure what would make a good substitute. You can find tahini online if you ever order from the internet. Good Luck!

Thank you for sharing – Where do you get your Tahini? We have gone to many stores searching for it and can’t find it! Is there a substitute we can use?

Thank you!

I completely agree that cooking your own hummus is more tasty and easier on your stomach. You can also better control the sodium level, if that’s important to you. The only time I choose to use canned chickpeas is when I make roasted chickpea snacks. For some reason that I can’t explain, I had better luck roasting the canned beans.

Very cool to know the differences between dried and canned! Dried takes a bunch more time I’m sure, but the results are prob well worth it. And yay for your upcoming food photography cruise! Sounds like a great time!
