Say no to ‘shop bought’ hummus!

Why do we still buy this stuff? It’s Inflammatory!

I’ve got a thing about shop bought hummus.  It’s not actually very good for us.  Why?  Because most of the average hummus you can buy in the supermarket is made with Rapeseed oil or some other industrial seed oil. These oils tend to oxidise and have a pro-inflammatory effect on the body and may be another factor in the contribution to modern, chronic disease.  The following is a list from ‘Your Personal Paleo Code’ by Chris Kresser, a book I highly recommend if you want to educate yourself about food!  These oils are high in Omega-6 linoleic acid and best to avoid as much as possible;

Safflower Oil, Sunflower Oil, Wheat germ Oil, Corn Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Soya Oil, Ground Nut (peanut) Oil, Rapeseed Oil and it goes with out saying, Vegetable Oil  (Check your labels, its in most, if not all processed foods!)
