Red pepper hummus is a creamy, flavorful spread derived from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its base is traditionally made from chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame seeds), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and roasted red peppers, which impart a smoky-sweet taste and vibrant hue. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas are excellent for digestive health and satiety, while tahini and olive oil provide healthy fats essential for heart health. The addition of red peppers boosts its vitamin C content and antioxidants. Red pepper hummus is naturally low in cholesterol and free from trans fats, making it a wholesome choice for snacking or as a condiment. However, depending on the recipe, it may contain high sodium levels, so portion control is advised for those monitoring salt intake. It pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or spread on a sandwich for a nutritious and satisfying option.
