Hoummous is a creamy and flavorful dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, widely enjoyed as a versatile and nutritious food. Made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds), fresh lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, hoummous is naturally rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential healthy fats. Its chickpea base provides complex carbohydrates and helps support digestive health, while tahini contributes valuable vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Hoummous is typically low in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, making it a great option for vegan and vegetarian diets. While hoummous is generally considered a wholesome choice, its calorie content can increase based on added oils or serving size, so moderation is key. Perfect as a dip for veggies, a spread for wraps, or a topping for bowls, hoummous is both nutritious and delicious.
