Spreads

Spreads are thick, spreadable condiments that can be sweet or savory. They are used to add flavor and texture to bread, crackers, and other baked goods. Common examples include:

• Nutella: A sweet, creamy spread made from hazelnuts and cocoa. It’s popular on bread, pancakes, and as a dessert ingredient.
• Peanut Butter: A savory and sometimes sweet spread made from ground peanuts. It’s widely used on sandwiches, in baking, and as a snack with fruits or vegetables.
• Hummus: A savory spread made from blended chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It’s often used as a dip for vegetables or pita bread, and as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.

Each category has its own unique characteristics and uses, making them essential components in a wide range of culinary traditions.
