About Hummus, plain

Hummus is the beloved Middle Eastern dip that has gone global: chickpeas blended smooth with tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Creamy, savory and endlessly adaptable, it works as a dip, a spread and a sauce in equal measure.

It is one of the more nutritious dishes on this list. The chickpeas bring plant protein and fiber, the tahini and olive oil contribute heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and together they deliver iron, folate and a steady, satisfying energy — around 243 calories per 100 grams, mostly from those good fats.

Scooped with vegetables or wholegrain pita, or spread instead of butter, hummus is a genuinely smart choice that keeps you full. It is calorie-dense thanks to the tahini and oil, so portion size is the main thing worth keeping in mind.
