FAQ:
Why use ice water?
Ice water helps emulsify the tahini and gives the hummus a fluffy, whipped texture.
Can I use dried chickpeas?
Yes. Soak and cook them until very soft. Dried chickpeas yield a richer flavor and smoother texture when cooked properly.
How can I make it garlic-free?
Simply omit the garlic or replace it with a pinch of garlic powder for a milder taste.
Is hummus healthy?
Absolutely. Hummus is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats, making it a smart choice for balanced diets.
