Hummus is a creamy, protein-rich spread made primarily from blended chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus has been a staple for centuries and is now enjoyed globally. Packed with essential nutrients, it serves as a source of plant-based protein, fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins like vitamin B6 and folate. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while the monounsaturated fats from olive oil contribute to heart health. Low in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, it's highly regarded as a nutrient-dense snack or meal component. However, some store-bought varieties may contain added salts, oils, or preservatives, increasing calorie content and sodium levels, so moderation is key. Versatile and flavorful, hummus pairs well with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread in wraps and sandwiches, supporting a balanced and health-conscious diet.
