Hummus is a creamy dip hailing from Middle Eastern cuisine, made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Known for its rich flavor and versatility, hummus is packed with nutrients that make it a popular choice for healthy eating. Chickpeas, the key ingredient, are high in fiber, protein, and folate, promoting digestive health and supporting muscle repair. Heart-healthy fats in tahini and olive oil contribute to good cholesterol levels, while garlic adds antioxidants. Hummus is naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. However, some store-bought versions can be high in sodium or contain added oils, so always check labels if you're monitoring your intake. Enjoy it as a dip with raw vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for grain bowls to add flavor and nutrition to your meals.
