The Best Humus Recipe

The Best Humus Recipe

My boy friend actually made this Humus but it turned out so good I had to post the recipe. 


Me and my boyfriend love Humus so we know what good hummus is and believe me this is good Humus. 


Humus is also very healthy, Garbanzo beans (chickpeas, Humus)are a very good source of folic acid, fiber,  manganese, protein, as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. 


Garbanzo beans help lower cholesterol and 
improve blood sugar levels. 

 Tahini the second main ingrediant is also very healthy for you. Tahini is made from sesame seeds are a good source of manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Sesame seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers calledlignans, and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.
