Hummus is a creamy, nutrient-packed dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally made from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas are excellent for supporting digestion and promoting satiety, making hummus a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. Tahini adds healthy fats and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, while olive oil provides heart-friendly monounsaturated fats. It’s naturally free of gluten and dairy, accommodating various dietary preferences. Though hummus boasts a variety of health benefits, it can be calorie-dense due to its fat content, so portion control is important for those monitoring their caloric intake. Its versatility makes it a wholesome addition to salads, wraps, or as a dip for fresh vegetables and whole-grain crackers. Whether enjoyed as a snack or part of a meal, hummus offers a delicious blend of flavor and nutrition.
