Commercial Hummus Calories and Nutrition Facts

Hummus, commercial nutrition facts

The table below shows the complete nutritional profile for hummus, commercial per 100 g (the laboratory analytical standard) and per 2 tablespoon (34 g), alongside the share of the FDA Daily Value each nutrient covers. Most of its calories come from fat, and it is a good source of fibre.

Nutrient screening detail

The badges near the top of this page come from screening the per-100 g values against the FDA nutrient-content thresholds in 21 CFR 101.54–101.62. The regulations define those claims per reference serving rather than per 100 g, so treat these as a like-for-like comparison between foods, not as a statement about a product label:

• Good source of protein — 7.4 g per 100 g (≥ 10% DV)
• Good source of fibre — 5.4 g per 100 g (≥ 10% DV)
• Sugar free — 0.3 g total sugars per 100 g (< 0.5 g)
