Ingredient Benefits
Black Beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, helping to keep you full and support digestive health. They're also rich in folate, magnesium, and antioxidants like anthocyanins that support heart and brain health.
Garlic provides more than just bold flavor — it also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support immunity and overall health.
Olive Oil contributes heart-healthy fats that help with satiety and make this hummus irresistibly smooth. It's also rich in antioxidants that support anti-inflammatory processes in the body.
Tahini, made from sesame seeds, brings a creamy texture and a boost of calcium, iron, and healthy fats — a powerful addition for plant-based diets.
Lime Juice not only adds brightness but also helps enhance iron absorption from the black beans and contributes vitamin C for immune support.
Cumin adds depth and a subtle smokiness, while also aiding digestion and providing antioxidant benefits.
