Hummus is a HIGH iron and vitamin C dish. It has high amounts of folate, and vitamin B6. The basic hummus recipe includes chickpease, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Also high in dietary fiber, amino acids, methionine, hummus is also high protein.
Although I love my hummus, I thought I’d share a couple unique takes on hummus.. Yummy! Enjoy with chopped veggies for a perfect mid-day snack!
Pumpkin hummus
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp pumpkin or flax oil
2/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
15 oz canned plain pumpkin
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons cilantro
Put it all in a food processor and it’s done.
Edamame Hummus
3/4 pre shucked frozen edamame beans

1/2 cup tahini (I sometimes use less)
