If you are trying to find healthier ways to continue to eat your (not so healthy) foods, hummus can be your savior. Chickpeas are a good source of dietary fiber and micro nutrients such as copper, manganese, and folate. By blending chickpeas with other ingredients such as garlic and olive oil, you get the wonderful combination of flavor and health called hummus. If desired, you can use other beans variety such as white beans or any of your favorite.
