Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savoury dish made from
cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
The standard garnish in the Middle East includes olive oil, a few whole
chickpeas, parsley, and paprika. In Middle Eastern cuisine, it is
usually eaten as a dip, with pita bread. In the West, it is now produced
industrially, and is often served as a snack or appetiser with crackers.
