Hummus  or  chickpeas is a Mediterranean-Arabic dish that is popular in  the Middle East. Hummus is mostly served in meze trays as an appetizer. This food is made from cooked chickpeas , olive oil, flour, lemon juice and crushed garlic.
In the Middle Eastern part  of the Mediterranean , such  as Palestine , Lebanon  and  Jordan , hummus is considered one of the bases of cooking and is used in most dishes and stews.
The history of the recipe for food like hummus goes back to the 13th century in  Egypt , and during  the crusades , food like hummus was given as a reward to the soldiers of  Salah al-Din Ayubi.  
Historical records show that after the 18th century, Homs entered the tables  of the people of Damascus. 
Hummus is rich  in iron , vitamin C , vitamin B6  and protein . It also  has a lot of fiber , which  is beneficial for the better functioning  of the digestive system.
