HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Grape seeds are separated from grapes when they are pressed to make wine. Grinding the seeds releases an oil that contains a number of fatty compounds, some proteins, vitamin E and plant compounds called flavonoids. One class of flavonoids, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, or OPCs, contains especially potent antioxidants that may have significant health benefits. Antioxidants stabilize free radicals, which are unstable chemicals formed in your body as byproducts of digestion or after you are exposed to environmental toxins.ย OPCs in grape seeds also improve heart function, ย may have anti-cancer properties, and can also speed recovery from swelling or edema caused by surgery or an injury. Grape seed oil may also improve symptoms of venous insufficiency, a disorder of the veins in your legs. (Source: healthyeating.sfgate.com)

Hummus is an Arabic word meaning “chickpeas” and the earliest known recipes close to hummus have been found in cookbooksย published in Cairo in the 13th century. ย Today hummus is a common staple in American restaurants and is consumed in most American households. ย We can thank the Armenian migration (1975-1990) for the introduction and the Jews for increasing its popularity even furtherย from return visits from Israel and by Israeli expatriates.

    Pretty good, that’s a lot of friggin’ lemon juice but I’ll give it a shot, I like lemon (but no tahini??). One suggestion, use the chickpea water instead of the water water to thin.

    1. Great idea Jeff! YOu can definitely adjust the recipe to your liking. ๐Ÿ™‚ Keep us posted how it turns out! HAPPY BLENDING!
