Hummus is a symbol of hospitality and warmth, a traditional dish with a rich history rooted in Middle Eastern cuisines. Homemade hummus has a creamy texture, rich flavor, and light nutty notes from tahini. Cumin adds a subtle spicy aroma, while garlic gives it zest. The perfect balance is achieved by mixing chickpeas, aquafaba, and spices. Hummus can be used as a snack, spread for toast, or dip for vegetables. It complements Mediterranean and Eastern dishes beautifully, creating a harmony of flavors. With its creamy consistency and nutritious composition, hummus is an excellent addition to a healthy diet.
