Hummus is a creamy, flavorful dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, widely celebrated for its versatility and nutritional benefits. Made primarily from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini (ground sesame seeds), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, hummus is both delicious and nutrient-rich. Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting a feeling of fullness. The olive oil and tahini provide healthy fats, including heart-friendly monounsaturated fats and antioxidant-rich components. Additionally, hummus is naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it a suitable choice for various dietary preferences. However, store-bought varieties may sometimes include added oils or high sodium levels, so homemade versions offer better control over ingredients. With its creamy texture and savory taste, hummus serves as a wholesome snack option when paired with veggies or whole-grain crackers, or as a nutritious spread in wraps and sandwiches.
