Where is hummus found?

Answer 1

Hummus was first created somewhere in the Middle East. It spread its way and then it was starting to catch on the greek and kind of Indian cultures, but mostly :Turkey, Iraq, Seria, Sauidi Arabia, and neaby countries had made it. Today you can buy hummus at most any marketplace that sells different foods, but you can especially find it in iriental markets. Also many Turkish and Lebaneze restaurants have it on their menus.

Answer 2

The first modern documented use of chickpeas to make humus in the middle-east, is from the age of the crusaders. What few people know is that humus was also mentioned in the Tanach.

On the first time Ruth and Boaz had met in Bethlehem, he offered her some humus: "And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar" (Ruth 2-14).

This is a mistranslation of course. The original word in ancient Hebrew, is "Hometz". Which not only sounds a bit like "Humus", but also resembles the word "Himtza". The Hebrew name of chickpeas.

True, "Hometz" in modern Hebrew is vinegar. But you don't really think Boaz was so rude as to offer Ruth to dip her bread in vinegar, do you?"

But if you do the checking, based on various English translations of the Tanach it seems that indeed some translations don't refer to the Hebrew word of HOMETZ, as vinegar but translate it as Roasted grains, meaning that Boaz gave Ruth Roasted grains to dip her bread into - i.e. a roasted grain dish - which is Humus.

So Hummus is Biblical and was mentioned in the Tanach. The Hometz mentioned in Ruth is the same Himtza today in Israel.

Answer 3

Hummus is a Levantine Arab dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food in various local forms throughout the Middle Eastern world. The historical enigma is such that the origins of hummus-bi-tahini could be much more recent than is widely believed. One of the earliest verifiable descriptions of hummus comes from 18th-century Damascus and the same source claims it was unknown elsewhere. Charles Perry, co-author of Medieval Arab Cookery notes that owing to hummus bi tahina being an everyday staple, and because of the lack of Arab recipe books published between the 14th and 20th century, no recipes documenting the recipe's early ingredients have been found. He says the nearest medieval example recorded in a 13th century Arab cookbook, Kitab Wasf al-Atima al-Mutada is Hummus kasa, which substitutes vinegar for lemon, includes extra herbs and adds walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios
