About This Recipe
This simple dish is an Elevated take on the classic Middle Eastern dip and designed to help support female hormone control. Its key ingredient is tofu which many people don’t like the texture of, so this is a great way to hide it in the diet.
Tofu is high in phytoestrogens, the plant substances that mimic natural oestrogen in the body and can be helpful to women as natural oestrogen levels drop, we marry that with the traditional hummus ingredients of chickpeas, high in protein and also high in phytoestrogens and tahini.
Tahini is made from sesame seeds which are also high in phytoestrogens and are a rich source of zinc, good for immune support. Finally we’re flavouring it with miso – fermented soybean paste which also adds lovely umami flavour to the dish, and yes, even more phytoestrogens. Like all our dishes this can be enjoyed by all the family.
