Is Hummus safe during pregnancy?

[AJC]

Am really feeling like hummus atm but am not sure whether it is safe during pregnancy. I usually buy the ones in the supermarket section - of course I consume it before the expiry date and dispose of it by the time specified (most packs will say within 5 days of opening). I couldn't see why not but prefer to be cautious. Thanks ! ! !

perfectly fine my dear! i make my own:

2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
400g canned chick peas rinsed and drained
1/2 cup tahini
1 teaspoon sea salt

PLACE all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping the sides occasionally.

another really yummy thing to do with the tahini you have left over is to use it as a spread on lunches etc.... YUM!!

I ate heaps during both my pregnancies both home made and bought.
TBH I never even thought about it.
If you're concerned about the shop stuff it's easy to make your own.
