Lantana Hummus Review

In our 2024 tasting, Lantana’s hummus lineup included unusual flavors and bases such as seasonal pumpkin spice, black bean, dill pickle, edamame and dark chocolate. We tried several varieties to see which combinations worked best; flavor availability can change over time.

This is not a lineup for someone who believes hummus should stay politely in the chickpea-and-garlic lane. Lantana treats hummus more like a format than a fixed recipe, which leads to some flavors that feel natural and others that sound like somebody lost a bet in the test kitchen.

Pumpkin Spice Hummus

The Pumpkin Spice Hummus is the most unusual of the group. It combines a sweet pumpkin-spice profile with a creamy dip texture and works better with apple slices, graham crackers or pretzels than with the savory pairings most people associate with hummus.

The key is approaching it as a dessert-style spread instead of expecting traditional hummus. Once you stop mentally pairing it with carrots and pita, the idea makes considerably more sense.

Black Bean Hummus

The Black Bean Hummus was one of the easiest flavors to like. It had more of a seasoned bean-dip character, with enough spice to stay interesting without overwhelming the base.

This was also one of the easiest varieties to serve. Tortilla chips, crackers and vegetables all made sense, so it did not require an explanation before somebody dipped into it.

Pizza Crust and Dill Pickle Hummus

The pizza-inspired version leaned into tomato and basil flavors, while the Dill Pickle Hummus was tangy and savory. Of the two, the pickle version felt more distinctive and worked especially well with crackers or in a veggie wrap.

Dill Pickle is the kind of flavor that announces itself immediately. If you already like pickle-flavored snacks, that tanginess translates surprisingly well into a creamy dip. If you do not, this hummus is unlikely to negotiate a peace treaty.

Edamame Hummus

The Edamame Hummus swaps the usual chickpea base for edamame. The texture stayed smooth, and the flavor was mild enough to work as a general snack dip rather than a novelty flavor.

That mildness made it one of the more versatile options in the assortment. It could sit beside vegetables or crackers without demanding that the entire snack revolve around it.

Dark Chocolate Hummus

The Dark Chocolate Hummus is clearly a dessert spread rather than a savory dip. We liked it with fruit and graham crackers, where the cocoa flavor made more sense than it would alongside traditional hummus pairings.

Like the Pumpkin Spice version, this works best if you ignore the expectations created by the word “hummus.” Think chocolate dip first and the experience becomes much less confusing.

Lantana Hummus Review

Lantana’s lineup is strongest when it treats hummus as a flexible format rather than a single flavor. Black Bean and Dill Pickle were the easiest savory picks, while Dark Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice were better approached as sweet snack spreads.
