Dips are an excellent snack to have on hand when cravings hit. Our Quick Turmeric Hummus will not disappoint. It is quick and easy to prepare and super healthy, especially when served with your favourite veggies.
Turmeric – The Star Ingredient
Turmeric is the star ingredient in this Quick Turmeric Hummus. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is know for its numerous health benefits, especially for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that curcumin can help with the management of conditions such as metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, cholesterol, muscle soreness, and exercise-induced inflammation.
Nutritious And Delicious
Because curcumin binds to fats, it is suggested to take it with a source of fat to enhance its bioavailability. Our Quick Turmeric Hummus contains tahini and olive oil, both great sources of healthy fats. Chickpeas, the main ingredient in this dip, are a great source of plant-based protein as well as fibre. This savoury snack should keep you satiated until your next meal!
