Hummus Is The Perfect Snack Food
Chickpeas are very versatile and highly nutritious, and hummus is one of the tastiest ways to eat chickpeas. I prefer to have chickpeas fresh rather than canned. Just soak a cup full of plump, large chickpeas overnight. The following day drain and simmer for two hours. Drain, cool and blend. Hummus is very versatile, you can use it as a dip or on pitta bread with a filling of your choice. There are many possibilities. Chickpeas are gluten free, full of protein and perfectly good food for those with psoriasis.
