This is another variation of a recipe that I love and have as a joker: HOMOUS! It’s impressive how small fit can give a totally different face and flavor to the same recipe! I always say, cooking doesn’t have to be a seven-headed bug, it’s actually very simple and a matter of practice and creativity!
I believe that a good strategy to maintain a healthy diet is to have practical and tasty options within reach. And without a doubt this is one of those recipes! In addition to being great for everyday life, it is an excellent option for a reception and table of appetizers in fraternizations..
Now talking a little about the nutritional composition, this paste is an excellent way to increase the consumption of legumes and also the intake of fibers. In addition, they are a excellent source of phytic acid, sterols, tannins, carotenoids and other polyphenols, such as isoflavones, whose benefits can extend beyond the basic nutrition needs.
consumption suggestions: Dip a cracker of seeds, carrots, cucumbers, stuffing a wrap/sandwich, complementing a salad bowl and so on!
