Hummus

About

Hummus is a classic Middle Eastern dip made from chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. It is renowned for its creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor. Chickpeas, the main ingredient, provide a base of protein and fiber, while tahini adds a smooth, velvety consistency. Garlic and lemon juice enhance the flavor, giving hummus a tangy and savory taste. Hummus is traditionally served as a mezze or appetizer, often paired with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. It is a versatile dip that can be customized with various spices and ingredients. Homemade hummus is preferred for its freshness and lack of preservatives, making it a healthier alternative to store-bought versions. With its nutrient-rich ingredients and delicious flavor, hummus is a popular choice for both snacking and as a condiment in many cuisines.
