About Chickpea paste
Chickpea paste, commonly known as hummus, is a creamy spread made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and optional seasonings like cumin or paprika. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, this popular dish is celebrated globally for its smooth texture and rich, nutty flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, chickpea paste supports digestion, provides sustained energy, and promotes heart health. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, iron, and magnesium. As a plant-based food, it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. While generally a healthy option, it can be calorie-dense due to the inclusion of fat-rich tahini and olive oil, so portion sizes should be mindful for those managing calorie intake. Versatile and delicious, chickpea paste is enjoyed as a dip, spread, or ingredient in many dishes worldwide.
