     Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip is an all-natural and vegetarian garbanzo bean based food that features the healthiest ingredients available.

     With the health of the consumer in mind, Wild Garden™  uses a unique process in several products such as Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip to eliminate preservatives and unnecessary additives. This results in a shelf-stable food product that is all-natural and trans-fat free.

     A great benefit of Wild Garden™ Hummus Dip is that it is shelf-stable. Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip does not require refrigeration until it has been opened. By returning foods to their natural state, Wild Garden™ offers a higher level of enjoyment that does not compromise health benefits, quality, texture or taste.

     There are 35 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 4 grams of carbohydrates per serving.  The total fat is 2g (0g saturated) and Sodium content is 70mg. Total carbohydrate are 4g (1g fiber, less than 1g sugars) and Protein is 2g. Please see our “Nutrition Facts” sheet for additional information.  

     Research has shown that garbanzo beans are a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Their high-fiber content reportedly prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making them beneficial for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, garbanzo beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. Garbanzo beans are a source of the trace mineral, molybdenum, an integral component of the enzyme sulfite oxidase, which is responsible for detoxifying sulfites (a type of preservative commonly added to prepared foods like delicatessen salads and salad bars).

Shelf-Stable

     “Shelf-stable” and “all-natural” go hand-in-hand, resulting in a healthy food product that is authentic, economical and great tasting.

     Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip does not require refrigeration until it has been opened. By returning foods to their natural state, Wild GardenTM offers a higher level of enjoyment that does not compromise health benefits, quality, texture or taste.

     In producing our Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip, we use an all-natural process that avoids using artificial preservatives. Our Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip products are trans fat free.

     The combination of being shelf-stable and all-natural results in a healthier food product that reminds the consumer of the natural state in which many Mediterranean foods were originally intended to be presented.

     To ensure an all-natural product, we include citric acid and sea-salt as natural ingredients that also enhance the taste. Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip is then pressure cooked to eliminate bacteria and sealed. This process is called pasteurization and is used in the preparation of many common and popular food products.

     While consumers can enjoy the health benefits of an all-natural healthy food item like Wild Garden™ Hummus Dip, retailers, wholesalers and distributors also enjoy benefits by being able to purchase large quantities of product without worrying about the short-term life of refrigerated products. Our Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip has a shelf-life of at least 18 months.
