Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
The fiber and protein in chickpeas help regulate the absorption of sugars, so blood sugar stays on an even keel, and the healthy fats from tahini and olive oil slow the absorption of sugars even further. Pairing hummus with raw, non-starchy vegetables adds extra fibre and vitamins without significantly raising the carbohydrate content of the snack. This combination fits well into a balanced dietary pattern that supports steady energy between meals.
