About Hummus, home prepared
Hummus is a smooth, savory dip and spread from the Levant and wider Middle East, made by blending cooked chickpeas with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt into a creamy puree. Popular around the world, it is prized as both a wholesome plant-based food and a versatile everyday staple. Because it combines chickpeas and sesame tahini, hummus is a good source of plant protein and fiber along with iron, folate, healthy fats, and vitamins, and it is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
It is traditionally scooped up with warm pita bread, spread on sandwiches and wraps, served as part of a meze platter drizzled with olive oil, and used as a dip for fresh vegetables. Countless variations flavor it with roasted red pepper, garlic, herbs, or spices like cumin and paprika. A long blend and a little of the chickpea cooking liquid give it its signature silkiness. Choose fresh or store-bought hummus to taste, and keep it refrigerated in a sealed container, using it within about a week.
