It’s more like bean dip. Super tasty.

It tastes very different to me.

No. It's not like peanut butter. Hummus is made from chick peas (garbanzo beans) and tastes like whatever flavor is added to it. A peanut is a legume though.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It is not sticky nor fatty. It's more like a rich puree. Houmous is a paste of chickpea with a few ingredient added. One is tahine, sesame butter, that would be on its own much closer to peanutbutter than hummus is. I also dislike the texture of pb but I don't have an issue with hummus. It is closer to a vegetable based dip.

You know, you could just buy some and try it. It's not expensive.

It has fat in it but it is not a butter. The same way that a rich chocolate cake doesn't have the richness/fattyness of peanut butter but is still rich.

IDK why everyone is saying they're nothing alike. There's definite similarities. But they're different enough that you should at least try hummos yourself to see if you like it.
Also, nota bene: If you tried peanut butter in Europe, it's very different from the peanut butter in North America.

Nothing alike at all.

Peanut butter has a buttery texture, hence the name. Hummus does not.
Beyond that, the flavors are completely different.
I dislike hummus (and that's putting it mildly), but really like peanut butter. They're that different.

Tahini! Sesame paste goodness!

IDK how you're making your hummos that it's not ending up buttery, but you're missing out.
Look, they're both legume patés that you spread on sandwiches. They both pair best with an acidic counterpoint. They both taste great with lettuce, or celery. I'm not coming out of nowhere with this.

If anything, Tahini - a separate spread common to the Middle East, made from sesame seeds - is vaguely closer to peanut butter.

Yeah chickpeas either are or are similar to beans
-

One of the ingredients is tahini (essentially sesame seed butter), but the end result is nothing like peanut butter.
