What is hummus?
Hummus, a dip traditionally made from chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and tahini, is quick and easy to prepare. Serve with carrot sticks or pita bread and use leftovers as a sandwich spread. Chickpeas are high in protein and B vitamins, while tahini, a sesame seed paste, is high in calcium.
