Nutritional values

Chick peas are the main ingredient of hummus and contain a lot of vegetable protein. We need this as building material for new cells, messenger substances and hormones in the body. In addition, pulses are rich in iron, which, together with lemon juice, our body can absorb particularly well. We need iron for healthy blood formation and oxygen transport.

Pita breads go well with aubergines with oriental-style hummus. You can easily prepare this yourself. Click here for the recipe and a video for quick pita breads. You can also add fried zucchini strips, cauliflower, fresh carrots or vegetables of your choice to the oriental starter. If you need to make it faster, use canned chickpeas or glass jars, you can puree them directly without cooking.
