🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Chickpeas are a valuable source of plant protein, fibre and iron, while tahini adds calcium and healthy fats. The vitamin C in lemon can help the body make better use of the iron in chickpeas. Its smooth, soft texture supports easy eating for 2-year-olds, and with its balanced makeup this hummus can be a filling snack during the day.
