Why it earns a spot in the rotation
- 9 g of fibre for 247 kcal — among the highest of any snack here, and from three whole plants rather than an added fibre.
- ~800 µg RAE of vitamin A, all of it from the carrot. No other meal in this library lists it.
- Beetroot is the dietary-nitrate source in this rotation that does not require a fish or a grain bowl around it.
- The tahini is what makes it a snack rather than a side: 11 g of fat slows the whole thing down.
- Ten minutes, and the hummus keeps for days once it is made.
