Hummus is one of those foods great for smearing on a savory breakfast sandwich all the way to having it with strawberries as dessert. That’s right! The hummus category has come a long way since it’s humble and scrumptious beginnings and we want to hop in on the fun of National Hummus Day to bring you some delicious facts:

• Hummus originated from Egypt
• It’s rich in B vitamins 
• It’s a pretty well rounded plant-based protein with 8g per 3.5 ounces
• It’s a good source of dietary fiber coming in a 6g per 3.5 ounces
• There are different varieties of chickpeas
• Speaking of chickpeas they are pretty awesome even when not being used in hummus (roasted, on salads, falafel, plant based burgers, curries, cold salads, and the list goes on)

Products you can find in our stores (availability varies): Original chickpea hummus and a slew of flavors like spicy/red pepper/garlic/etc, edamame hummus, black bean hummus, snickerdoodle hummus, chocolate hummus, mint chocolate hummus and a few more.
