Hummus Sweet Home with a Taste of Heaven |
Most of us are familiar with hummus, the thick, hearty spread made with chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic, and tahini (ground sesame seeds and oil), all blended together into a creamy consistency. This nutrient-packed spread is a common staple on many restaurant menus and in grocery stores. In 2018, Americans spent four times as much money on hummus as they did ten years prior, and an estimate of 25 percent of American homes now stock hummus in the fridge.
Staying ahead of this growing trend, Hummus Heaven, a small-batch hummus business based in San Leandro, has been crafting uniquely flavored hummus with local ingredients for 20 years and at Mission Community Market on Thursdays and Jack London Square Farmers Market on Sundays. Brothers Mourad and Tarek Cherif bring a taste of the Middle East to market regulars and visitors alike through their hummus, tapenades, grape leaves, pita chips, and olives. |
