In most cases, when we receive a visit we usually offer ultra-processed products that provide us with too much fat, excess salt and refined oils. By eating them we eat more calories than we need. However, they are empty calories, since they do not provide us with the necessary nutrients for our body.
This recipe gives you health and essential nutrients to maintain your vitality.
Hummus
Depending on which sources are consulted, hummus originates from Ancient Egypt, Morocco or Lebanon.
The truth is that it is a dish that did not belong to our gastronomy, but has come to stay. It has become popular in recent years in our country due to its simplicity and flavour.
This healthy snack provides us with fibre and protein, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium and a little vitamin C, which helps iron to be assimilated more easily.
Whoever tries it is unable to resist it. You have children? Serve them a little as a snack with crudités, with breadsticks or even spread on toast. It is a fun way to make it easier for them to eat legumes.
