The nutritionist told about the benefits and harms of hummus

Nutritionist and nutritionist Roman Pristansky spoke about the benefits and harms of hummus, a popular snack. This dish includes mashed chickpeas, Turkish peas, olive oil, tahini, sesame paste, lemon juice and spices.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, May 14, Pristansky noted that hummus is a very old nutritious dish that can be mixed with anything. It is rich in vitamin A, has a high content of magnesium and copper, which has a good effect on the cardiovascular system.

Meanwhile, he warned, like any bean-nut ground mixture, a variety of oils and fillers have been added to hummus. The nutritionist pointed out that hummus is very high in calories, and about 70% of all calories come from fats. In this regard, it is important to correctly fit this snack into your diet — approximately 18-19 grams of fat per 100 g of product.

Hummus is often mixed with hot sauces and oils, even with something sweet. You can replace it, for example, with walnut brushes.
