The Low Down

This nutritional beast of a hummus contains zero added oil.

By using hemp seeds in the mix, you'll get really good for you Omega 3s plus added protein. 

While most recipes ask you to drain and rinse the beans, you don't need to for this recipe, saving you an extra minute or two. The reason being, beans are so nutritious, that even the liquid from inside the can contains really good for you minerals. Since you are using a BPA-free can of organic beans, it'll all good. So keep the liquid and ditch the oil!
