Chickpeas are packed full of goodness for your baby and family, they are a rich source of folate, manganese, fibre, protein, iron and zinc. Butternut hummus is one of the easiest and tastiest ways to introduce chickpeas to your little one. You can either use canned chickpeas (we recommend an organic BPA free option), or use dried chickpeas which have been soaked overnight and cooked until soft.
