Does hummus taste good without tahini? Is sweet potato hummus better with or without tahini?

It has a delicious nutty flavor but also a touch of very slight bitterness which probably explains why some children do not like it. 

There are also those who suffer from a sesame allergy and, consequently, cannot eat traditional hummus with tahini. 

If you do not use tahini in your hummus, it is okay. Fortunately, it is very possible to make hummus without the tahini.

Some love the zesty, tangy flavor of tahini, others really like without it. For best hummus rivaling the best brands in the store, it is highly recommended that you include tahini
