Who says hummus always has to be made from legumes? We use roasted organic carrots as a base. The result is a velvety, slightly sweet dip that is guaranteed to be easy on the histamine levels. Combined with high-quality tahini and fresh herbs, it is the star of any dinner table.
Classic hummus can be tricky with HIT. Our carrot-based alternative is not only safer but also more nutrient-dense! Carrots are highly tolerated (SIGHI 0). This dip is the perfect partner for our Sweet Potato Toast or as a snack with cucumber sticks.
Ingredients
1 lb (500g) Organic Carrots: (Peeled and chopped).
2 tbsp Organic Tahini: (100% sesame, no additives).
2 tbsp Organic Olive Oil: (Extra virgin).
1 tsp Verjus: (The perfect low-histamine substitute for lemon juice).
1/2 tsp Sea Salt & a pinch of Cardamom: (Instead of cumin for better tolerance).
Happy Hista Extra: 1/2 tsp Forever Bee Honeyâą * for a balanced flavor.
Preparation
Steam: Steam or boil the carrot chunks in a little water until tender (about 10â12 minutes).
Cool: Let the carrots cool slightly.
Blend: Place carrots, tahini, olive oil, verjus, salt, and cardamom into a blender or food processor.
Boost: Add the Forever Bee Honeyâą * to enhance the carrots’ natural sweetness.
Process: Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of water if needed for consistency.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Product Recommendation
We love adding a touch of Forever Bee Honeyâą * . Itâs a pure natural product and acts as a flavor balancer here, perfectly offsetting the earthy notes of the roasted carrots.
Why this Recipe is Low-Histamine Friendly
Carrots over Chickpeas: Chickpeas are often histamine liberators; carrots are safe (SIGHI 0).
Verjus over Lemon: Citrus fruits are common triggers. Verjus (unripe grape juice) is the go-to low-histamine acid.
Sesame (Tahini): Usually well-tolerated in moderate amounts for those with HIT.
