Homemade hummus is a creamy, nutrient-packed spread originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made by blending cooked chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt, this versatile dish is rich in flavor and incredibly satisfying. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, while tahini and olive oil contribute healthy fats that support heart health. Lemon juice adds a boost of vitamin C, and garlic delivers potent antioxidants. Unlike store-bought hummus, homemade versions allow you to control additives like sodium or preservatives, making it a cleaner option. Though highly nutritious, the calorie density can add up depending on portions and added extras, such as more oil or toppings. Enjoy it as a dip, spread, or ingredient in various dishes to elevate your meals with wholesome ingredients.
