Mediterranean hummus is a creamy, protein-packed dip originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Made primarily from chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, it offers a rich blend of earthy and tangy flavors. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while tahini provides additional nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. Low in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, hummus makes a nutritious alternative to heavier, dairy-based dips. However, it can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key, especially when paired with calorie-rich dippers like pita bread. For a lighter option, enjoy hummus with fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers. Versatile and satisfying, Mediterranean hummus is a wholesome snack or side that bridges flavor and nutrition.
