U.S. Hummus consumption on the increase!

One of the greatest "new" foods I have been enjoying more and more lately is Hummus......

I have enjoyed Hummus for years......but I have probably increased my consumption 100x in the past several months....eating it several times/week.

Maybe an investment trend since PepsiCo has invested in it???


Hummus Conquers U.S.

Hummus, once relegated to health-food stores and Middle Eastern restaurants, is going mainstream in the U.S. Sabra Dipping Co., a hummus maker partially owned by PepsiCo, is ramping up production. And that’s pushing some farmers to abandon other crops like tobacco in favor of chickpeas. U.S. chickpea production rose nearly 50 percent this year.
