"???" now Chimtse means Chickpeas and Hummus is made of Cheakpeaes, henceforth Chumus was first mentioned in the Old testament in it's Hebrew name. And yes, Chametz means leavened food not allowed during Passover, Hummus is not allowed during Passover.....bercause it is chametz .category of kitniyot, means that Hummus is not leavened,...... Now if you got all that then here is the Biblical verse "??? ????? ??? ????, ????? ?? ???? ????? ???? ?????". The word used is ???? and that means a food that is/was/will be chametz Trust me on this I speak perfect Hebrew.......
