Amrood/Guava Hummus

 

Hummus is a traditional middle eastern creamy, delicious spread/dip made from chickpeas, tahini,lemon,garlic along with salt, chilli and olive oil. 

Now days we can get hummus in grocery stores but I think homemade is the best.

All the main ingredients are super foods in their own right. It's got chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and olive oil in most traditional versions.

I add Guava in my hummus and it turn out to be so delicious. 

Guava is a common tropical fruit cultivated is many tropical and subtropical regions. It is usually green when raw and becomes yellow as it ripens. 

Consuming seasonal fruits is typically encouraged since they help the body fight off the effects of the season and support the immune system. 

Guava are loaded with minerals, including vitamins C, which helps to strengthen our immune systems. Common bacterial and fungal illnesses can be fought with the aid of vitamin C.
