Tofu innovator Nasoya introduced SUPER HUMMUS, the first and only hummus to deliver twice the protein & half the fat of the leading hummus brand.
The nutritional advantage of SUPER HUMMUS comes from substituting low-protein chickpeas with soybeans, which are naturally high in protein. The recipe also reduces the amount of added oil and replaces water with protein rich soymilk.
Now, the only problem I have with using soybeans is that some reports or news articles have given soybeans a bad taste. The foul reports come from anti-genetic engineering groups, whom I agree with on the importance of keeping our food unaltered and pure, as well as organic.
With that said, a super food, soybeans have a high level of phytonutrients, which are linked to lowered risk for chronic illness, such as cancer and heart disease. Common super foods are tomatoes, spinach, oranges, berries, garlic and broccoli.
The top national brand of hummus has 2 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat in every 2 tablespoon serving. SUPER HUMMUS has twice the protein (4 grams) and half the fat (3 grams) for the same size serving. In addition to cooked soybeans, the ingredients in SUPER HUMMUS include sesame tahini, soymilk powder, cooked chick peas (for flavor), soy sauce, lactic acid, water and natural flavors.
SUPER HUMMUS comes in two varieties: Classic Original with a rich, nutty flavor; and Spinach Garlic, made with three super foods (garlic, spinach, soybeans). Both are all-natural and made without any preservatives. Look for them near the fresh tofu in the produce or dairy section of your favorite food market nationwide. The suggested retail price is $3.99 per 10-ounce container.
