Is Hummus Good For You?
Making your own hummus and crackers is a fantastic idea. You can make much more hummus than you’d get in a small container from the store and the whole family can really enjoy it!
Hummus Nutrition
Hummus is very nutritious and packed with plant based protein. Hummus is naturally high in fat as it contains oil, however the protein and fibre, plus the vegetables added to the Hummus make it a tasty and nutritious treat.
We like to dip vegetables in our Hummus making it a healthy snack and much better than buying a chocolate bar or eating tasty cookies.
