Thyme + Season Mediterranean Hummus Kit — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Thyme + Season Mediterranean Hummus Kit by Penguin Software Inc MUNCH — score 80/90.

Six ingredients, and five of them are actual food: chickpeas, sesame, garlic, salt, herbs. This is what a hummus kit should look like, and the vegan/palm-oil-free labels are — shockingly — just true. The only quibbles are a lemon that exists as 'natural flavor' and a salt level worth watching.

Why this verdict

• Just 6 ingredients, led by garbanzo beans (~58%) and sesame seeds (~21%) — a genuinely whole-food formula
• Zero colors, zero preservatives, zero gums, zero sweeteners — none of the deterministic junk-food rules even twitch
• Legume + sesame base delivers real protein (~20g/100g) and fiber (~16g/100g)
• Natural lemon flavor is the lone processed shortcut — real lemon would be better, but it's a minor sin
• Sea salt runs high for the dry mix (~2.4g/100g), the one number worth watching

Ingredients (6)

• GARBANZO BEANS (safe) — Chickpeas — a whole legume rich in plant protein and fiber that keeps you full and feeds your gut.
• Sesame Seeds (safe) — Whole seed; note this is a sesame allergen source.
• granulated garlic (safe) — Dried garlic for flavor; a whole-food seasoning with no downside.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
• Natural lemon flavor (moderate) — A flavoring standing in for real lemon juice; harmless but vaguer than the real fruit.
• Herbs and spices (safe) — Plain dried herbs and spices for the Mediterranean profile — flavor with no additives.
