Humus is a creamy, flavorful spread or dip traditionally rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, it offers a rich, nutty taste with versatile applications in meals or snacks. Packed with nutrients, humus is a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats, supporting digestion and heart health. It's also rich in vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. However, variations in recipe or store-bought options may include higher sodium or added oils, so choosing minimally processed versions or making it at home is ideal for healthier consumption. Enjoyed with veggies, pita bread, or as a condiment, humus is both nutritious and satisfying, making it a staple in balanced, health-conscious diets.
