Granted I see those tubs of dense, industrial stodge go on markdown often but even at half price, it&#8217;s still ridiculous. Homemade as I do here with dry beans made a batch three times that size for a sum total of $0.42. Forty two cents a batch! (no, I wasn&#8217;t channelling Douglas Adams with my I-ching calculator when I did those sums). Do the extended math and that means the store is hovering around a 2000% markup even at discount sale prices. Even if that&#8217;s not enough motivation for you to soak a few beans, the flavour and texture differences between fresh and store-bought should convince you. Make a batch already.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mjZtbpZ_5VM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/northfarthing.ca\/spork\">More Spork Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can find my original hummus recipe in this post but it was the array of hummus permutations at the grocery yesterday that prompted me to make a video of the process.
