About Two spoons of hummus
Two spoons of hummus provide a small but flavorful serving of this classic Middle Eastern dip. Made primarily from chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, hummus is celebrated for its nutrient-dense ingredients. Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber, which aid in digestion and help sustain energy levels. Tahini offers healthy unsaturated fats and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while lemon juice adds vitamin C. Hummus is relatively low in saturated fat, making it a popular choice for those seeking nutritious spreads or snacks. However, portion control is key, as hummus can be calorically dense when consumed in large amounts due to its nut and oil content. Perfect with fresh veggies or whole-grain crackers, two spoons of hummus make for a satisfying and healthy addition to any meal or snack.
