Hummus

Hummus is a spread or dip made primarily from cooked, mashed chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and blended with other ingredients, typically including tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. It is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine and enjoyed worldwide for its creamy texture and savory flavor. Hummus can be served with pita bread, vegetables, or used as a filling in wraps and sandwiches. It is often considered a nutritious food option, rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Variations of hummus may include different flavors or additional ingredients, such as roasted red peppers, herbs, spices, or other legumes.
