why does hummus give me heart burn is it the raw garlic?
Posted by admin on Sep 14, 2009
i made homemade hummus today with only garlic clove and now im burping fire and acid.
it does the same to me. Try roasting the garlic-just rub a few cloves with olive oil and salt, wrap loosly in foil, and roast in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes. The roasting breaks down the enzyme that creates acid-works for me and actually tastes better. You can also roast some red bell peppers for added flavor and texture. Hope this helps. I love my homemade hummus-I use a little extra tahini for a more creamy texture
