Houmous tradition is a plant-based spread belonging to the Fat and sauces (Dressings and sauces) group, offering a vegan, high-fiber alternative made primarily from chickpeas, sesame paste, and extra-virgin olive oil. It carries a Nutri-Score of C and is classified as a NOVA 3 processed food, reflecting the presence of added oil, lemon-juice concentrate and a citric acid additive, while still delivering 5.5 g of fiber per 100 g. However, it is high in sugar (15 g per 100 g) and contains moderate amounts of saturated fat, so consumption should be balanced within a varied diet.
