Hummus

Hummus is a creamy, nutritious spread or dip made primarily from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Originating from the Middle East, it offers a savory flavor and smooth texture. Rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, hummus is commonly enjoyed with vegetables, pita bread, or as a condiment. Its versatility makes it popular worldwide, not only for its taste but also for its health benefits. Hummus can be easily customized with added herbs, spices, or vegetables to suit different flavors and dietary preferences.
