About

A few years ago, we decided to offer a hummus tasting at a street fair in our Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. We set up a station in front of the store with five new varieties we created especially for the event, asking the pass-ersby to vote for their favorite. When the results were tallied, this sassy blend won in a landslide. It is now a fixture in the deli case as well as on the café menu. I’m guessing it will find a permanent place in your snack and party rotation as well.
