International Hummus Day 2020 is celebrated on May 13 globally. Hummus is a food dip or spread which is prepared from cooked and mashed chickpeas and then blended with tahini, lemon juice and garlic. It’s a popular preparation in the Middle East and Mediterranean cuisine. The word Hummus is derived from the Arabic word hummus which means chickpeas. International Hummus Day was first celebrated in 2012 by Ben Lang with the initiative of creating a holiday with food to bring people together.

In 2008, Hummus War began where Israel and Lebanon started to fight with the origination of Hummus. But according to history, this dip has its mention in the 13th-century documents. Celebration of Hummus is different in countries. For example, people of Egypt prepare it with cumin and in Israel, people make it with paprika. In Palestine, you will find it with mint and parsley. In Jordan, tahini is often replaced by yoghurt and butter is used instead of olive oil in Turkey for extra creaminess.
