Heavenly Houmous

Heavenly Houmous is a plant-based spread and dip made primarily from cooked chickpeas, rapeseed oil and tahini, placing it in the Fat and sauces (Dressings and sauces) food group. It carries a Nutri-Score of B and a NOVA 4 classification, reflecting a relatively good balance of protein (6.4 g per 100 g) and fiber (5 g per 100 g) with low sugars, but also a high fat content (about 12 g per 100 g) and moderate salt (about 0.98 g per 100 g) that push its overall nutritional profile toward the higher end of the category. The product is certified vegan and gluten-free and contains no palm oil, yet it includes additives such as citric acid, modified maize starch and potassium sorbate, which are typical of ultra-processed foods.
