Is eating hummus good for you?
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a type of legume that has been consumed for centuries. Today, they are a popular ingredient in many dishes, including hummus. Hummus is a paste or dip made from chickpeas, tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. It is commonly used as a spread on sandwiches or as a dip for vegetables or pita bread. Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein and fiber. They are also a good source of several vitamins and minerals, including iron, copper, manganese, and phosphorus. In addition, chickpeas contain compounds that may help to protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer. For all these reasons, eating hummus can be a healthy addition to your diet. These simple ingredients can be a healthy choice as long as what you are dipping in the hummus isn't junk food!
