Does Prest use seed oils?
Nope. Our hummus mix is 100% powder — absolutely no seed oils, ever. You add your own olive oil when mixing, so you’re always in control of the quality and flavor. Unlike most store-bought hummus brands that sneak in seed oils, ours stays clean.
What about tahini?
Adding tahini is optional but our hummus mix is tahini-free. Many people search for a hummus recipe without tahini because they want something lighter or nut-free. We created our blend as a hummus without tahini option that’s still creamy, delicious, and easy to make. And if you want to add tahini, please do!
How long does it last for?
How long does hummus last?” is one of the top questions we hear. Fresh hummus from the store usually spoils within a week after opening, but our hummus mix is shelf stable for up to 2 years. That means no waste, no rush. Just mix when you want it.
Do you need to refrigerate it?
Not the mix. The pouch is fully shelf stable. Once you mix it with olive oil and water (your own homemade hummus recipe in under a minute), store leftovers last in the fridge just like regular hummus.
How do you make it?
Super simple. Just add water + olive oil, stir, and you’ve got fresh hummus in under 60 seconds. It’s the fastest way to enjoy a homemade hummus recipe without the mess of cooking chickpeas. And if you love tahini in your hummus, just add with the olive oil and stir just the same.
Is this 100% plant-based?
Yes, our hummus is plant-based, protein and fiber rich, and free from seed oils and preservatives. It’s a gluten free snack and naturally vegan, making it a clean, better-for-you snack whenever you’re craving it.
Can I travel with it?
Absolutely. Hummus mix is lightweight, portable, and TSA-friendly. Toss a pouch in your bag for road trips, camping, or quick hummus cravings on the go.
How does it taste compared to fresh hummus?
Think smooth, savory, and creamy, just like your family’s best hummus recipe, and just as fresh because you make it right before eating. Many customers say it tastes better than store-bought hummus brands because it skips the preservatives and uses fresh olive oil and tahini.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes! Our hummus mix is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and made with clean ingredients. Perfect if you’re looking for a protein-packed, plant-based, gluten free snack.
Why powder instead of premade hummus?
Premade hummus spoils fast and often uses seed oils. Our mix is shelf stable, customizable, and made fresh when you want it. You’re essentially making your own homemade hummus recipe every time, without any hassle.
Can I use other oils instead of olive oil?
Sure! We prefer olive oil because it’s the traditional method but feel free to try others like avocado oil.
