Using canned garbanzo beans cuts hummus prep time down from hours to minutes.

I find the flavor of dried beans superior, but when you want to make it before the baby wakes up from her nap and you didn’t think about cooking the beans yesterday, or if you live in the middle of nowhere and buying dried garbanzos would mean driving 32 miles— then canned will do.
