mycotoxin free beet hummus
I am sensitive to mold. Mold produces mycotoxins which can impact brain function and create inflammation. Garbanzo beans are high in mycotoxins because of the drying process. Garbanzo beans also are acidic and can affect your inflammation. When I learned this, I was bummed because hummus had become a substitute for the dairy products and dips I could no longer eat due to my allergies. I had to find a substitute. Lentils and Red Beets are high in folate which is essential in the methylation process. Garlic is anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal. These key ingredients have excellent health benefits and I couldn’t stop eating it!
