The Origins of Hummus

Made by the only manufacturer of all-natural hummus available nationwide, Tribe Origins is a line of smooth and creamy-style hummus. Complementing Tribe Mediterranean Foods’ original hummus selections, the new line comes in four varieties: Classic, Spicy Red Pepper, Tomato & Veggie, and Zesty Spice & Garlic — all boasting “incredibly silky texture and rich flavors,” according to the New York-based company. With the hummus category experiencing stratospheric growth (roughly 18 percent over the past year alone), due in large part to the highly nutritious profile of the food’s main ingredient of chickpeas, grocers would be wise to consider more offerings of this type. The suggested retail price is $3.99 to $4.49 for an 11-ounce fully recyclable container featuring a clear cover enabling consumers to view the product, including the toppings featured on three of the varieties.
