Hummus is a delicious middle eastern dip, traditionally made from chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. With its recently gained popularity worldwide, hummus has taken additional flavor profiles and has been fused with some untraditional yet still tasty ingredients. This is great for kidney patients who might not have been able to enjoy this dip before, as canned chickpeas may be high in sodium and phosphorus. But it’s important also to note that the human body absorbs about 20-40% of phosphorus from plant sources. Read this blog post to learn more about how much phosphorus we absorb from different sources.
