Love for HUMMUS…

 

What is Hummus?

As we are all on the same page, let’s talk about what hummus is. If you aren’t familiar, hummus is a delicious spread or dip made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and spices. It’s lusciously smooth, with a bright lemon flavour and a little kick of garlic. You can enjoy it with fresh veggies, slather it on a sandwich, or scoop it up with wedges of pita. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do!

    It’s commonly consumed by people of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Nowadays, we can find store-bought versions at any grocery store. However, its best to make your own. Let me show you how!
