About Chickpea spread

Chickpea spread, commonly known as hummus, is a creamy and versatile dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made from a base of blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, this nutrient-packed spread is rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making it a satisfying and heart-healthy choice. Chickpeas in hummus contribute to better digestion, stable blood sugar levels, and sustained energy, while the healthy fats from olive oil and tahini provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Naturally gluten-free and vegan, chickpea spread suits a variety of dietary preferences. However, it can be calorie-dense and sometimes high in sodium depending on preparation, so portion control and checking labels on packaged varieties are advised. Enjoy it as a dip for vegetables and whole-grain crackers, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for salads and bowls.
