About Houmus

Hummus is a creamy, flavorful spread or dip made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus has become a global favorite due to its rich taste and versatility. It is packed with nutrients, offering a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which support digestion and promote fullness. Chickpeas are rich in iron, B vitamins, and antioxidants, while tahini provides healthy fats and calcium. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and lemon juice adds vitamin C. However, store-bought hummus may sometimes contain excess sodium or added oils, so moderation and label-checking are advised. Hummus can be enjoyed with vegetables, whole-grain bread, or as part of a balanced meal, making it a wholesome choice for most diets.
