How many calories are in hummus?
ANSWER
There's plenty of nutrition-packed goodness in every scoop of hummus. There are also lots of calories: 408 per cup.
You're not going to eat a whole cup of hummus, are you? Like anything else, you need to watch your serving size. You can get too much of a good thing.
