Trader Joe's has all of these different kinds of hummus now. One of these, edamame hummus, looked particularly interesting to me. I love edamame. It's a superfood, so delicious and filling. Also, I love hummus. I had some frozen shelled edamame in the freezer left over from when I made edamame succotash a couple of months ago. So, I decided it was time. This is the recipe I followed.
Here's the breakdown:
1/2 pound Trader Joe's frozen shelled edamame // 8 oz @ $0.13/oz = $1.04
1/4 cup Ziyad tahini // 2.11 oz @ $0.25/oz = $0.53
1/4 cup water // 2.09 oz @ $0.00/oz = $0.00 (I don't pay for water, but you might)
3 tablespoons lemon juice // 1.57/oz @ $0.17/oz = $0.27
1 clove garlic, smashed // 1 oz @ $0.03/oz = $0.03
3/4 teaspooon Morton's kosher salt // 0.17 oz @ $0.06/oz = $0.01
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin // 0.10 oz @ $0.29/oz = $0.03
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander // 0.05 oz @ $0.22/oz = $0.01
3 tablespoons Trader Joe's extra-virgin olive oil // 1.43 oz @ $0.18/oz = $0.26
16.50 oz @ $0.13 per ounce = $2.17
Trader Joe's offers an 8 oz package of edamame hummus for $2.49. So, if you buy it at Trader Joe's, it's $0.31/oz vs. homemade which is $0.13 per ounce. I say if you have a food processor of any kind of blender, make it at home. It's fresher and way cheaper. Sorry, I forgot how much my parsley cost, but it's optional.
