Kale is the ‘queen of greens’, It is crammed full of nutrients: iron, fibre, vitamin A, C, K, anti-oxidants, omega-3 & so is excellent for general health ranging from good bone health, effective blood clotting, an efficient immune system, reducing blood cholesterol levels & offers protection against cancer through its high content of suphur-based chemicals.

This hummus also includes milled chia seeds to increase the protein, fibre & omega-3 content.  Best if all, it only takes minutes to prepare in a blender!
