At the heart of any hummus recipe are chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. These legumes are not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a great option for vegetarians and vegans. In addition to protein, they are rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut.
