Recipe: Pumpkin Hummus
Are you looking to infuse more pumpkin into your fall snacks? This may be the recipe you’ve been waiting for!
We love pumpkin because it is packed with vitamin A for healthy eyes and vitamins C and E for antioxidant and immune defense. Pumpkin is a good source of iron and folate, and the potassium and fiber content can also benefit heart health.
Our savory pumpkin hummus is naturally sugar-free, with even more fiber from chickpeas and more antioxidants and immune boosters from garlic and lemon juice. The whole family can enjoy this treat with crackers or your favorite raw veggies.
