Hummus is a savory Mediterrean dish that goes with many foods. Whether you use it as a dip, slather it on toast, or top your favorite lamb dish with it, hummus is versatile. Hummus has been referred to as one of the oldest known prepared foods. Eaten in the Middle East since ancient times, hummus is still a staple of the region.
Hummus has gained popularity in Europe and the US, partly due to immigrants introducing it to American cities. The vegetarian movement also helped to boost the dish's consumption. Relatively low in carbohydrates at 3 grams per one tablespoon, it also only has 27 calories, 1 gram of fat and 1 gram of protein. A serving size is usually two tablespoons as hummus is often treated as a condiment. But this dish is healthy enough to be consumed in larger amounts within reason.
