If you are looking for a nutritional powerhouse in the name of hummus, then our Raw Chickpea Sprouts Humus is precisely what you need. This creamy, fluffy, and flavorful hummus is packed with energy-boosting, gut-healing nutrients and a ton of protein and fiber. 

Sprouting raw chickpeas magnifies their mineral and vitamin content; using them raw helps keep their nutritional profile intact. The sprouting process also does one essential thing: neutralizes their naturally occurring anti-nutrients, which they use as a defense mechanism to keep them from being eaten by grazing animals and insects. It takes two days for the chickpeas to sprout.

The fact that you won’t be doing any cooking means the preparation process will be a breeze. If you have made cooked chickpea hummus and loved the creaminess of the hummus, and are apprehensive that using raw sprouts will not yield the creaminess, I can reassure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. The raw chickpea sprouts render a very fluffy and creamy hummus with a light fermented taste.

Combined with prunes and agave syrup, it produces a delicious balance of savory and sweetness, carrying this hummus to another level. Well, now, let’s jump right into the recipe so you can get the chance to enjoy this goodness by yourself!
