Nutritional information

Lebanese hummus, garnished with whole chickpeas, on a Yemeni serving dish. Hummus is high in iron and vitamin C, and also has significant amounts of folate and vitamin B6.[23] The chickpeas make it a good source of protein and dietary fiber. Depending on the recipe hummus carries varying amounts of monounsaturated fat.Hummus is useful in vegetarian and vegan diets and like other combinations of grains and pulses, when eaten with bread it serves as a complete protein.

It is good for growing children but depends how and when it is consumed...

Recomendations

A) Early B/Fast

B) Early Dinners

Better to consume with more olive oil (Organic/Extra Virgin, First Cold press) as a topping add on.

Two/Three times a week is ok if your staple food is not lentil based.

I assume you will be buying it from famous Hamous guys (Beruit), order it without oil and use your own olive oil as recomended above.

Hope this helps
