Hummus

Everyday

Hummus is a traditional Middle Eastern spread made from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, and garlic. This vegan and gluten-free staple provides a balanced combination of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats from olive oil and sesame. Its smooth, creamy texture and savory flavor profile make it a versatile dip, sandwich spread, or accompaniment to raw vegetables in both classic and contemporary diets.
