What is Hummus?

Hummus (Hum-es) is a delicious, healthy chickpea and tahini (sesame seed oil) based dip or spread inspired by various countries from the Mediterranean region. At Sabra we make our hummus using the same traditional base and then kick up the taste by adding our own unique blend of the freshest old world spices, garlic and lemon juice. Then, we top it all off with fresh, tasty garnishes like roasted red peppers and jalapenos.

A staple in the Mediterranean kitchen for centuries, not only is hummus delicious; it's also nutritional and high in protein and fiber. Enjoy your hummus with fresh cut vegetables, pita wedges, or chips. Or, get really creative and use it in a salad or as a spread on your favorite sandwich or wrap.
