Hummus is one of the most loved and important types of legumes in the world. It was cultivated in the Middle East at least 3,000 years ago and is an important ingredient in the kitchens of India, Ethiopia, Italy, North Africa, Turkey and of course here in Israel.
In the marketing chains you can choose between two types of hummus - regular and giant. Many cooks shy away from cooking hummus at home, but it's actually the cheapest and best way to enjoy this great legume.
