This power hummus is a delicious dip for veggies, and makes for a stunning appetizer when served on whole grain or gluten-free bread or toast. It can also be savored as a hearty sandwich spread.
Black beans are the foundation of this spread, and offer a plethora of health benefits. From bone health to digestion, there are plenty of reasons to love these legumes. But perhaps the greatest benefit is the presence of selenium.
Selenium is known to prevent cancer, working to detoxify, reduce inflammation, and maintain a healthy balance of reactive oxygen species.
Among the ingredients are chickpeas, which can modulate cancer risk; and garlic, which represents a whole pharmacy industry due to its broad spectrum of effects.
For a healthy snack that fights cancer and promotes overall health, you can’t do better than the Ultimate Black Bean Hummus!

My husband has been diagnosed with lung cancer and I am looking for any advice that can help me to give him some hope of recovering.
Hi Trish,
We are sorry to hear what your husband is going through. The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors/experts that we interviewed in our Global Quest Series. Here is a link to get their information: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
I will make this. I like hummus and I like black beans. I will add cayenne for sure. Since tahini is expensive I use peanut butter instead.
Almond butter would be much more healthy than peanut butter unless you can use Valencia peanuts to make it… Peanuts often have mold hidden in them. 🙂
You should really point out that it is harmful to exceed the recommended daily intake of selenium.
I used only half a tablespoon of minced garlic and it was still too strong. Perhaps 1 clove was supposed to be only 1 teaspoon and not a tablespoon?
