Hummus spread is a creamy, savory dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, beloved for its rich flavor and versatility. Traditionally made from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and spices, hummus is a nutrient-dense option packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Chickpeas serve as an excellent source of protein and fiber, supporting digestion and helping to maintain steady energy levels. Tahini and olive oil contribute monounsaturated fats, which may benefit cardiovascular health, while the garlic and lemon juice provide antioxidants and immune-supporting properties. Hummus is naturally gluten-free and can often accommodate vegetarian and vegan diets. However, it can be calorie-dense if consumed in large quantities, particularly when combined with high-fat toppings or excessive oil. Enjoy hummus with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread to balance its rich and wholesome flavors with mindful portions.
