omg, hummus is DELISH. it's smashed chickpeas. they have a bunch of different flavors too. i use it as a dip with veggies or pita chips. it's really healthy for you, it tastes good, and it's filling. you don't feel like you're eating healthy food

tofu on the other hand i'm not that familiar with. i eat it when it's included in a dish (it's not bad, it pretty much takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in), but i don't cook with it at home.

Hummus is crushed chick peas with flavorings (usually garlic, or olive oil) I really like it, you usually eat it as a dip with pita chips or veggies.
I don't know if it's healthy, but I also don't think it's super bad for you

Never had tofu, and refuse to try it!

i eat and like hummus ... it's very healthy and has a lot of protein ... you can spread it on bread, or use it as a chip / veggie dip. i do know lots of people who hate it though.

tofu is healthy as well and doesn't have a flavor. it kinda scares me though (no idea why) so i've never actually tried it.

I love both!

If you like bean dip, you'd like hummus! It is REALLY yummy and healthier dip for your veggies!

eta: you can try it on sandwiches too instead of adding mayo or other condiments. It's got a rich, thick, consistency so I can have it on sandwiches without cheese too!

And I love tofu!

It's kind of a weird food to describe how it tastes. Do you like chick peas/garbanzo beans?

omg, hummus is so good. it's basically chickpeas, so if you like chickpeas, you'll like hummus.

if you haven't had it before, you might want to start with a flavored one first and then work your way to the reg. i think they are all delicious, but some don't agree.

tofu is phenomenal -- if you cook it right. think of tofu like a sponge, it basically absorbs the juices of what it's cooked in, so if it's in a dish where you love the flavor, you'll love tofu!

Hummus is YUMMY! I love it. It kind of has a nutty flavor to it (not like peanuts nutty, like warm woodsy nutty). it's delish

How do u cook Tofu?

Re: Hummus & Tofu???

If you make smoothies, you can throw a little silken tofu in there for extra protein. It's a beginner's way to try tofu because you won't really taste it. But it makes the drinks creamy!

Think of a meat dish you make. You can almost ALWAYS do the same thing with Firm tofu. Let tofu sit in some marinade you'd use for a chicken breast, then you can grill it, fry it, bake it, stirfry it, go nuts!
