They also contain triptophan, if I'm not mistaken. Granted, this is a hummus blog, but shouldn't you try to highlight where we might eat it most? (Meaning: the average American is more likely to eat chicken/turkey than hummus and so would relate this more keenly to their lives...?)

I would encourage anyone to seek alternatives to drug therapy, but always under a physician's guidance. All the best, enjoy your hummus (and bananas and quinoa and raisins and peaches and dates) Hey Spike, other readers,
