FromAncient Tables to Modern
Plates: The Rise of Hummus
Aladdin Gourmet
Hummus dates back to the 13th century, with early recipes found in Middle Eastern cookbooks.
Its exact origin is debated, with Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Greece all claiming it as a traditional dish.
It has a creamy, nutty, garlicky flavor and is great as a dip, spread, or salad topping.
Hummus is rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, supporting digestion, heart health, and sustained energy.
Super Tip – Use hummus as a healthy pasta sauce alternative for extra creaminess!
One of the saddest things in life is to have a delicious sweet dessert in front of you and then feel guilty with every spoonful you eat.
Middle Eastern pastries may be sweet and full of flavor, but they are far less unhealthy than many other types of desserts.
