About this food
How to think about Legumes & Nuts: Hummus is worth a closer look - Legumes and nuts are typically high in both phosphorus and potassium, so they need care. Plant phosphorus absorbs at a lower rate (30-50%), so the real load is smaller than the numbers suggest.
Nutrient insight
From the sodium angle (21%), Hummus must fit inside your daily sodium budget.
