Hummus is a creamy, nutrient-rich dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, cherished for its wholesome ingredients and versatility. Typically made from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices, this savory spread delivers a balanced mix of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Chickpeas are a great source of complex carbohydrates and support digestive health, while tahini and olive oil provide heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Lemon juice adds vitamin C, and garlic contributes antioxidants. Hummus is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, making it a popular choice for various dietary lifestyles. While nutritious overall, its calorie content can add up due to tahini and olive oil, so portion control is key if you're watching intake. Delicious as a dip for veggies or a spread for wraps, hummus can elevate both flavor and nutrition in your meals.
