Paneer<\/a> and hummus are excellent protein sources for vegetarians but are vividly different from each other, and not just in looks! While paneer is an Indian food staple, hummus’ origins are very different. So, how do these protein powerhouses, paneer vs hummus, compare? Here are seven things you must know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Both Hummus and Paneer are Great Protein Sources <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we discussed, both hummus and paneer are great sources of protein. However, while paneer is an excellent vegetarian option, it is not vegan since it’s made from buffalo or cow milk. Hummus, on the other hand, is vegan-friendly since it is a nut, gluten, and dairy-free product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tofu is an excellent vegan replacement for paneer. Find out more in this article on tempeh vs tofu vs paneer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Healthline, 100 grams of paneer<\/a> has 25 grams of protein, and 100 grams of hummus<\/a> has 7.9 grams of the same. However, how much protein you get from paneer vs hummus depends on how many servings you take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While both are good protein sources, you cannot meet your daily protein requirement by solely eating one. Furthermore, since hummus and paneer also have fat content, too much consumption (equivalent to your daily protein limit) will also mean taking way more fat than advisable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Paneer vs Hummus: Taste and Texture Differences<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any paneer vs hummus comparison would be incomplete without matching their taste and textures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paneer, made from acid coagulation of buffalo or cow’s milk, tastes mild and milky. Some even say it tastes a little buttery. Its delicate flavor profile works like a sponge to soak up all the rich and spicy goodness typical of an Indian curry. That is why you see it as a protein source frequently used in Indian cuisine. It effortlessly replaces boneless chicken in any spicy or creamy sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it does not melt. It is a soft cheese that, when homemade, has a bit of a bite. Store-bought or defrosted paneer is usually a little spongy, whereas the homemade version is more soft and crumbly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A staple Eastern food, hummus is basically mashed chickpeas with garlic cloves, lemon juice, and tahini sauce. All you have to do for a basic hummus recipe is chuck all the ingredients in a food processor. Then, serve hummus with an olive oil drizzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hummus has a slight tang from the lemon juice and nuttiness from the roasted sesame seeds. It is rich and creamy, almost paste-like texture is an umami bomb. Homemade hummus is easy to make and cemented its place as the “it”\u00a0lunchtime snack\u00a0or appetizer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
