About One tablespoon hummus

One tablespoon of hummus, a creamy spread with origins in Middle Eastern cuisine, is made from a blend of chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. This small serving delivers a punch of plant-based nutrition, offering fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Chickpeas are rich in complex carbohydrates and nutrients like folate and manganese, while tahini and olive oil contribute heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Hummus is naturally free of cholesterol and low in saturated fat, making it a great option for supporting heart health. However, it's worth noting that its calorie content, while modest in a tablespoon, can add up quickly when consumed in larger amounts. Additionally, some store-bought varieties may contain added oils or sodium, so checking the label is advised. As a versatile, nutrient-dense food, hummus is an excellent addition to almost any balanced diet.
