I've read, that garbanzo beans are on the list as a food to avoid for ckd patients. Would you please explain why this recipe is on the Davita website? Thank you! Dietitian comment: Today's kidney diet does allow legumes. The amount and frequency depends on your lab values so it's important to work with your dietitian when including chickpeas and other legumes in your diet.

I love hummus but I like mine plain or spicy. Could I leave out the lemon and add a spicy Dash seasoning? Would I need to replace the lemon juice? Any change in values? Dietitian Response: Thank you for your question, you can certainly leave out the lemon juice and substitute it with a little water to help smooth out the hummus. You can add any Mrs. Dash seasoning you like. These changes would likely not significantly change the nutrient content.
