Best buy
Three tubs of houmous on the same shelf, judged on the one number the label buries: how many grams of chickpea went in per 100g of the tub, the rest being oil, water and tahini. The everyday Sainsbury's tub and the Creamy Classic tub tie for the most chickpea at 52% and are all but identical on value, giving the most real chickpea for your money. The premium Extra Smooth Taste the Difference tub has the least chickpea at 45% and is roughly four-and-a-half times dearer per pound of chickpea. The dearest tub holds the least chickpea.
Ranked by cost per 100g of actual chickpeas — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.
