in Recipes, Condiments Low carb hummus
This awesome hummus is made with edamame beans instead of chickpeas. Not only is it lower in carbs, but it's also way higher in protein. The perfect dairy-free condiment that tastes great with any grilled meat, fish, or vegetarian option.

And not the other way around.
That is incorrect information for cooked chickpeas (the only way they are consumed). The higher protein amount is for 100 grams of uncooked chickpeas. When cooked, chickpeas absorb a lot of water, which increases their volume and decreases their protein concentration. Canned chickpeas are also cooked. Hummus uses cooked chickpeas (whether canned or fresh), which contain about 9 grams of protein per cup. Normally a recipe nutrition information is based on the raw weight of a food but in this case, we do specify cooked chickpeas.
