Tangy Lime Hummus
If you thought that starting the low FODMAP diet spelled the end to hummus, you need to try this Tangy Lime Low FODMAP Hummus recipe. Hummus has been around for decades and is a popular and versatile food. With chickpeas and olive oil, hummus is highly nutritious and rich in prebiotic fiber which keeps our tummies and our gut bugs happy. I could guarantee that on any given day, there is a container of hummus in our fridge.
Sadly, traditionally made or store-bought hummus is heavy in FODMAPs, and not suitable during the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet. So step aside Roasted Garlic Sabra, this tangy lime low FODMAP hummus is super easy to whip together. If you don’t have a lime, you can use a lemon instead.
Before pulling out your food processor, read the FODMAP notes first:
- The serving size for this low FODMAP hummus is 1/4 cup
- Canned chickpeas are lower in FODMAPs than boiled chickpeas
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas really well to wash away excess GOS
- Chickpeas are a good source of prebiotic fiber, which means they feed the good bacteria in our gut
Go take out your food processor and grab a lime from the fridge and enjoy!
