About Houmous

Houmous is a creamy Middle Eastern spread made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. This traditional dish has ancient roots in Levantine cuisine and is widely enjoyed across the globe as a versatile dip or condiment. Packed with plant-based protein from chickpeas, houmous is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans seeking satiation and muscle-supporting nutrients. It also contains healthy fats from olive oil and tahini, which contribute to heart health when consumed in moderation. Additionally, houmous is rich in dietary fiber, promoting digestive health and aiding in balanced blood sugar levels. While houmous is nutritious, it can be calorie-dense, especially store-bought versions enhanced with oils. For a healthier option, homemade houmous allows control over added fats and salt content, making it a wholesome addition to your meals and snacks.
