About Chickpea puree
Chickpea puree, commonly known as hummus, is a creamy spread made from cooked and blended chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it has become a globally popular dish due to its versatility and rich, savory flavor. Chickpea puree is a nutrient-dense food, offering a healthy balance of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and heart-healthy fats. It’s also a good source of vitamins and minerals, like folate, iron, and magnesium. The olive oil and tahini contribute beneficial unsaturated fats, while chickpeas provide slow-digesting carbohydrates for sustained energy. However, portions should be considered, as tahini and olive oil add calories if consumed in excess. Typically enjoyed as a dip, spread, or sandwich filler, chickpea puree is a wholesome and flavorful option for those seeking a nutritious addition to their meals.
