I like my hummus a little rough and tart, not like an olive tree just jacked off into it and that's what you get with Sabra

There's a hummus monopoly?

bbennett741.bsky.social•96 days ago

I was curious and looked it up. Current estimates say Sabra holds ~37% market share of hummus in the US, and it was over 60% at one point.

I'm a generic white guy. What's a good brand?

I really like the Aldis brand hummus, more than Sabra. It also seems to look like it's not produced by PepsiCo-Strauss. Homemade is always best but likee......

Cedar’s. Owned by a Lebanese family in Massachusetts. Fantastic flavor and imho much better than Sabra.

honestly, just find an arab-owned "mediterranean" restaurant near you and order from there.

garbanzo beans, tahini, evoo, garlic, lemon, s+p + BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

for store bought stuff, finding one made with olive oil is usually a good bet.

Sorry I lived near Dearborn MI for several years and I can confidently say Sabra fuckin sucks

worstcaseeng.bsky.social•96 days ago

Idk who I'm apologizing to, presumably people who have never had decent hummus

Well damn, you learn something new every day.
The packaging looks familiar to the pine nut hummus I like, and what do you know!

It's like they do just enough to appear like a good company.

It’s the Australian version of Sabra unfortunately 🥲 time to start making our own!

Legislation incoming, forcing people to buy a certain amount of Sabra per head per household. GOP representatives will go in spiraling mode as they push both deeply antisemitic conspiracies about the downturn in sales & swear fealty to "Mr Saber Jummus" as per Trump's remarks.

Fuck sabra but tbh I’ve had worse hummus

clamtronprime.bsky.social•95 days ago

Cedar's is way better if you don't want to make your own.
