Wonderful question We’ve all come to realise that there are many foods available nowadays that appear healthy but aren’t. Fortunately, this homemade hummus IS nutritious. This chickpea-based dip is not only grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan, but it also has a lot of fibre, protein, and B vitamins.
