How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional hummus, which is typically savory and made with tahini and garlic, this version is sweet and flavored with pumpkin and spices. The absence of tahini and garlic, and the addition of sugar and pumpkin, create a dessert-specific taste. The base ingredient, chickpeas, provides a creamy texture common to both types.
