SUPERFOOD // RED PEPPER
Red Pepper Hummus is a delicious and vibrant take on a traditional hummus! This dish is infused with the sweet and slightly smoky flavor of roasted red peppers. This smooth and creamy dip combines the nutty richness of chickpeas with the bright, savory notes of roasted red peppers, creating a perfect blend of flavours.
Although milder than other types of peppers, red bell peppers contain capsaicin, which has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects. Capsaicin may help reduce inflammation in the brain and promote neuronal health.
