Smokey Cinnamon Pumpkin Hummus puts an autumnal twist on a classic dip. Warm spices with the slight sweetness of pumpkin makes for an irresistible combination.
Did You Know This About Hummus?
Hummus is one of the most ancient foods deriving from the Middle East. More specifically, the first hummus was discovered in 13th century Egypt. In fact, hummus means “chickpeas” in Arabic. Hummus is low in saturated fat and high in fibre, protein and offers complex carbs.
Do You Peel Your Chickpeas?
If you don’t already peel your chickpeas you will from now on after seeing how smooth this hummus is. The chickpea skins don’t breakdown well in the food processor and are difficult for your body to digest.
To peel the chickpea gently rub between your fingers and the skin should easily shed.
