Recommended Food -- Baby Zach's Smoked Black Bean Hummus

[alfreda89]

It's Vegan! It's allergen-free! It has no nightshades in it! It doesn't even have garbanzos in it, suggesting that "hummus" is not the right name. But you get black beans, Tahini, olive oil, cumin, garlic, fresh lemon juice and the usual water, salt and citric acid. Plus -- real apple wood smoke! No gluten added in this one, either. The product is natural, but I don't know if that means totally safe in all forms. The BBQ one they had there was not one I could try, so check the labels.

This is their "mild" black bean dip, without chilies, but it has a nice pop to it and a lot of smoke and bean flavor. I've looked a long time for a black bean dip without chilies, and this is as close as I've found. It's carried at Wheatsville, People's Pharmacy and Fresh Plus, and is coming soon to Central Market, Whole Foods and Natural Grocers. I got mine at the Saturday Lakeline Farmer's Market. Give it a try!

I love smoked and BBQ flavours but they hate me. :( I don't think it's an allergy but things that have a lot of smoke or grill marks seem to make me ill even though i love them like the moon.

Sometime I can send you a tiny portion to muscle test. Then you can decide if you want to lick the thing as an experiment. I'm eating small amounts of this, because I haven't had smoked food for a long time. I'm not doing BBQ right now, because if I'm going to go **nuts** acidic and eat meat, I want roasted lean beef!
