Baba Ganoush is generally considered to be healthier than hummus. That is because it is made with eggplant rather than chickpeas. It is low in calories, low in carbs, and is high in fiber. Because it is filled with vegetables, it is packed with vitamins and minerals, like vitamin K and potassium. The eggplant being lower in calories than some also keeps it at low macros for most dietary needs. Additionally, adding olive oil, while standard, isn't necessary for the dip to combine and be delicious.
