Hummus is a delicious classic Middle Eastern dish and the Mediterranean region. But, it has become really famous and popular among Iranians.  “Hummus” comes from the Arabic language word meaning “chickpeas.” Traditionally it is eaten with wedges of raw onion and pita bread. Hummus is often served as an appetizer, but some pick it as a light dish.

It’s primarily made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, and spices. With spices like sumac, cumin, and smoked paprika, it tastes better.
