Garlic hummus is a creamy, savory spread originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, loved worldwide for its bold flavors and versatile uses. Made primarily from cooked chickpeas blended with tahini (ground sesame seed paste), garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices, this plant-based dish is rich in nutrients. Chickpeas provide a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, while tahini and olive oil contribute healthy fats. Garlic not only adds robust flavor but also delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The lemon juice enhances both taste and vitamin C content. Garlic hummus is relatively low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, it can be calorie-dense, especially if eaten in large portions or paired with less healthy sides like fried chips. Ideal as a dip, spread, or accompaniment, it offers a satisfying way to incorporate wholesome ingredients into meals or snacks.
