About Hummus chips

Hummus chips are a crunchy snack made from chickpea flour or other legume-based flours, often inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine where hummus itself is a staple. Chickpeas are the primary ingredient, making hummus chips a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips. They are lower in saturated fats, often baked rather than fried, and provide protein and fiber while reducing empty calories. Additionally, they may incorporate spices such as paprika, garlic, or sesame for flavor and added nutritional benefits. Their popularity has grown as consumers seek gluten-free and plant-based snack options that align with balanced diets.
