Hummus or houmous full Arabic name: ḥummuṣ bi-ṭ-ṭaḥīna > Arabic: حمص بالطحينة, meaning 'chickpeas with tahini' is a food dip or spread that includes chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic.
The debate over the origin of hummus is old–probably as old as hummus itself. The Greeks like to claim it as their own, but the Arabs are equally adamant in their claims. Even the Israeli's claim it, but we'll get to that later. So, who is right? The Origins of Hummus The honest truth is that no one really knows for sure. That being said, though, based on historical information, hummus likely originated from ancient Egypt. According to several historical sources, the earliest mention of hummus dates back to Egypt in the 13th century. Chickpeas were and are abundant in the Middle East and are still commonly eaten. In fact, the word hummus means chickpea in Arabic. Historical documents show a dish, very similar to the hummus we eat today, being consumed in Cairo in the 13th century. But that doesn't stop other areas from continuing to claim hummus as their own.
