27. Hummus
“Hummus should be a food group,” says Hever. “Literally. With all of its potential in the kitchen, there may not be any other food that provides such a satisfying shot of nutrition. Protein-, micronutrient-, and fiber-jammed chickpeas are typically mixed with tahini, which is loaded with healthy fats and minerals, and then boosted along with vitamin C-rich lemon or other citrus, which synergistically improves the absorption of iron from the chickpeas. It is a winning—and delicious!—combination.”
Hummus alone also has many impressive health and nutritional benefits. All vegans and vegetarians are going crazy over it, because they are aware of its endless benefits.
