About Hummus with sesame seeds

Hummus with sesame seeds is a creamy and nutritious dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from chickpeas, tahini (a sesame seed paste), olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, this flavorful dish is rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making it a satiating and heart-healthy choice. The addition of sesame seeds boosts its nutritional profile, providing healthy fats, magnesium, calcium, and antioxidants that support bone health and reduce inflammation. Hummus is naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, making it suitable for many diets. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the tahini and oil content, so moderation is key for those watching their caloric intake. Traditionally served with pita bread or fresh vegetables, hummus with sesame seeds is a versatile and wholesome option enjoyed worldwide for its health benefits and delicious taste.
