Tasteless mix is in eg hummus from the east (7)
I believe the answer is:
insipid
'tasteless' is the definition.
('insipid' can be a synonym of 'tasteless')
'mix is in eg hummus from the east' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates an anagram.
'eg hummus' becomes 'dip'.
'from the east' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'dip' reversed gives 'pid'.
'is'+'in'='isin'
'isin' with letters rearranged gives 'insi'.
'insi'+'pid'='INSIPID'
(Other definitions for insipid that I've seen before include "Boring and lacking liveliness" , "Jejune" , "without taste" , "Dull" , "Bland, flavourless" .)
