(and yay! for no salt issues to deal with) btw -- i can't stand peanut butter, but the other nut butters are good (cashew, almond). thanks! i will definitely try this — DH just loves hummus and yeah, $4.99 for a tub ($6.49 for the ‘party’ size) adds up quickly.

Using canned ones is just a big more convenient, but if you just use dried ones and soak them, then you get all the benefits and don't have to deal with any of the salt issues at all!!

(do garbanzo beans even come dry?) i've been using my crock pot to soak beans for soups or frijoles and it's been working great. we love hummus here (roasted red pepper being my favorite). now i can do it myself! do you know if you can soak garbanzo beans like you do dry beans?
