Hummus is a natural, vegan food that can be a part of virtually any diet. Chickpeas, like most beans, are an excellent source of fiber that digest slowly and keep blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly, making them ideal for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. Combined with rice or whole grains, they provide a complete protein. Chickpeas also contain molybdenum, a trace mineral that helps the body detoxify sulfites, as well as iron and manganese, which are essential for healthy blood and high energy.

Recipe
1 can chickpeas drained
2 cloves garlic minced
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons tahini (a sesame sead paste)
2 Tablespoons virgin olive oil

Place all ingredients in your food processor and puree to desired consistency. Taste and adjust flavors to your individual liking. I tend to make a large variety of flavors. Wasabi Humus, chili humus, feta cheese humus. Another good one is to make red pepper pure' and mix that in.
