Beetroot Hummus

Hummus, a traditional Middle Eastern appetiser spread, has recently gained tremendous popularity worldwide. It is primarily made from chickpeas, lemon juice, and tahini.

With time, different variations are being used to make the taste more appetising or the spread more creamy. Not only is it hassle-free to make but the ingredients used have a long shelf life, making it easy to store and use whenever convenient. 

Hummus is basically a nutritional powerhouse, being an excellent source of protein and additional vitamins and minerals, which can contribute to a balanced diet and various other health goals.

It is a perfect choice for health-conscious individuals who are trying to manage their weight by promoting feelings of fullness for a long period of time.  Also, it has a low glycemic index, making it perfect for individuals who are aiming to manage their blood sugar.
