Both of these ingredients offer numerous health benefits, making beetroot hummus a wholesome addition to your diet. Beetroot, also known as beets, are packed with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Beetroot

Beets offer a wide range of health benefits:

  • Beets are rich in antioxidants, such as betalains, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
  • They are great for heart health! The naturally occurring nitrates in beets are converted into nitric oxide in the body, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow.
  • Beets are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut.
Chickpeas

Chickpeas provide a creamy texture and also provide several health benefits:

  • Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets.
