Campers Pantry Hummus

Campers Pantry Hummus Review

Hummus probably ranks as one of the most popular, if not the most popular, dip around. While I’m sure there are people who don’t like it, it seems to be rare. For many years I’ve been making my own dehydrated hummus for longer hiking trips but every so often I find I just don’t have the time.

This hummus is actually a commercial product that Campers Pantry has put through the freeze drying process and they’ve done it well. I tend to find many commercial hummus offerings to be a bit vinegary in taste but not this one. While vinegar is one of the ingredients it’s not overpowering. This version of hummus is not very spicy which is a good starting point and if you feel like spicing it up you can always add a bit of paprika.

The Campers Pantry Hikers Hummus comes in a 100 gram packet (as well as a large 200g packet) and contains 3 X 67 gram serves but having said that, if you are using this as a meal then splitting this into two servings is more realistic and makes more sense. If all you want is a snack then smaller serving sizes would be fine. Typically I tend to eat the hummus by itself preferring just to mix it up in a peanut butter jar and at other times I’ll eat it with flatbread but this depends on what I feel like on the day.

Price wise this 100 gram packet comes in at AUD $12.99 RRP, or $4.33 serve which given the sheer convenience is great value either as a snack or a full on meal which is what I tend to use it for. Given my lack of time I’m happy to include this in my meal rotation, particularly in the hotter months when I don’t necessarily want a hot meal.

Best Uses

• Great option for lunch or dinner or just as a snack option
