There are plenty of spicy hummus products that get their heat from hot peppers and spices, but Gonzo Hummus was recently launched as a new line with unique hybrid spreads.
Gonzo Hummus first got its start at an Israeli-street style food cart in Portland, Oregon, where it quickly became a customer favorite. Now, Gonzo Hummus is making it easy for consumers to purchase the hummus in convenient containers in an original flavor, as well as Hummus & Tsug and Hummus & Harissa varieties.
While the Hummus & Tsug features Yemen's fiery hot green spice paste, the Hummus & Harissa pairs garbanzo beans, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic and tahini with red Fresno Chiles, tomatoes and bell peppers—both of these hummus flavors are rated to have a medium level of spice.
