Interesting facts about your industry/company

Most ready-made hummus products in stores contain added oil which makes them low on nutritional value, where the protein-to-calorie ratio is low.
With HommosHummus, the customer gets the utmost nutritional value and plant-based protein from the hummus prepared, thus sparing what is known as “empty calories.”

What is your innovation?

The innovation behind HommosHummus is in the process of creating this simple yet unique product with advantages on so many different levels.
HommosHummus allows the customer to prepare fresh homemade hummus in the utmost convenient and cost-effective process. In two easy steps and less than one minute, fresh hummus can be prepared: the consumer adds water to the HommosHummus powder and stirs, then adds HommosHummus tahini paste and stirs to make fresh hummus anytime and anywhere.
The HommosHummus bundle includes HommosHummus powder and Tahini. It is available in different flavors with a shelf-life of over 1 year before preparation.
HommosHummus has zero added oil, contains no preservatives, and is highly nutritious with a high protein-to-calorie ratio, unlike most ready-to-eat hummus.

What is the story behind the innovation?

Making hummus at home is a long tricky process that requires overnight planning (to get the chickpeas ready) and some high-cost ingredients such as tahini.
Many different factors are at play to get the perfect hummus. This makes buying ready-to-eat hummus rather more convenient than going through the trouble of making it at home. But most hummus sold in stores fails to offer clean ingredients. Most ready-made hummus contains added oils, making them low on nutritional value, and they have a short shelf-life, which spans a limited time for consumers to buy and consume.
The overall reasons inspired us to create a way to make the home-making hummus experience most convenient. Hommos Hummus is the perfect solution, which offers the consumer clear, simple ingredients and a way to make hummus according to taste in less than one minute.
