Why cauliflower hummus?
While I used to eat regular chickpea hummus before I went Paleo, let’s just say that it wasn’t exactly friendly to my stomach. It would cause gas and bloating, especially if I ate more that just a couple of bites. Garbanzo beans are high in fiber, which can cause gas for some people. They also contain raffinose, a sugar found in many members of the legume family. Since humans lack the enzyme to digest raffinose, it gets passed down to the bacteria in the large intestine to be broken down. This process also creates gas in some people. Uh oh.
Legume free hummus is easier to digest
Although cauliflower also contains raffinose, it’s a smaller amount than what is found in beans. In addition, this recipe uses roasted cauliflower, and cooked cauliflower tends to be easier to digest. So, your stomach will be happy you chose to make this bean free easy cauliflower hummus!
