Is hummus anything like peanut butter?
-
You know, you could just buy some and try it. It's not expensive.
Or make it because it tastes way better

Pb is gross so i dont know if i would like something similar to it
Grab a can of chickpeas (garbanzos). Put em in s blender. Add some olive oil, diced onions & garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice & tahini (if you've got it). Blend. Garnish with diced pine nuts, paprika & oil if you like. That's a simple DIY hummus.
Anyway, peanut butter is just peanuts pureed. Hummus is Mediterranean bean dip, as others have said.

Well, peanut butter is often with added sugar and whatnot. If you got the stuff that's just pureed peanuts, that isn't really something you'd spread on your bread. Instead, you can use it for cooking, e.g. mix it into sauces to make the sauce more creamy and hearty.

Yeah chickpeas either are or are similar to beans
They’re also known as “garbanzo beans”.

What makes you think that? Because they have a somewhat similar colour?

Yeah but English names and taxonomy often are in conflict and I didn't feel like checking

Premise rejected.
Pb is actually really sweet and was used as a sweetener for many years!

Hummus is more liquid than peanut butter and (I think) is more flavorful. But of couse it depends on what goes in it. Peanut butter is either smooth or crunchy, can be mixed with honey or jam, and that's pretty much it.
There are LOTS of hummus variations. Garlic and sun dried tomato are my favorites.
Both can be used as a vegetable dip and that's pretty much where the similarity ends. I don't think you could make a hummus sandwich for example.

Of course you can use hummus as a sandwich spread! It just needs to be less runny. Add some tahini if it's too runny.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I have hummus practically every day as a spread in my sandwiches. In between I add cucumber, pumpkin seeds, marinated tempeh, tomato, lettuce, sometimes red cabbage and mayo. My new staple!

Only PB with added sugar is sweet.

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.
The fat is optional. You're supposed to add olive oil to taste after serving, not while you make it.
-
Because they're nothing alike.
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.
Crunchy peanut butter with skins and no sugar is kind of similar to hummus. Sweetened smooth peanut butter isn't similar at all.

Not PB, Pb.

Maybe sort of texture wise, but even that is a stretch.
I am going to with No.

You can absolutely spread natural peanut butter on bread (ie ingredients: peanuts). Are you thinking of powdered peanut butter? Because that you would need to rehydrate to use as a spread.

? They asked about hummus, not baba ganoush! -

Tahine is not optional. Tahine is sesame butter.
