Humus with white bread is a popular snack or appetizer rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine. The dish features hummus, a creamy spread primarily made from blended chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame seeds), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Paired with white bread, it creates a simple yet satisfying combination. Hummus is widely celebrated for its nutritional benefits, being rich in protein, dietary fiber, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, including iron and magnesium. It supports heart health and promotes satiety. However, pairing hummus with white bread adds refined carbohydrates, which lack the fiber and nutrients found in whole grain options. While the hummus contributes to a balanced diet, eating it with white bread is less nutritious than whole grain alternatives, as refined grains can lead to blood sugar spikes. Overall, the dish offers a delicious way to enjoy hummus but can be made healthier by choosing whole-grain bread instead.
