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
