You do not have to peel chickpeas for hummus unless you want smooth hummus.

Peeling chickpeas will give you a creamier texture, but won't have much of an effect on taste.

The most efficient way of peeling the chickpeas is to rub small handfuls in the palm of your hands.

It will still take some time to work through them, but it's far more efficient than using your fingertips.

Chickpeas are rich in magnesium which helps reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.

It helps in balancing out the fatty acids in the body which increases the elasticity of the skin, gets rid of the wrinkles and smooths out the fine lines.

It also prevents premature wrinkles.

Hummus, that creamy dip that hails from the Middle East, has a reputation as a clean, healthy food.

It deserves it. All the main ingredients are super foods in their own right.

It's got chickpeas, sesame paste (tahini), garlic, and olive oil in most traditional versions.

Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory 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.
