We've Invented a new Hummus

Well, sort of. We decided to make a new hummus as a complement to our classic hummus. Instead of using the same old stuff you see in grocery stores, we wanted to add something different. So, we are proud to introduce kybecca peppadew hummus. This is our classic hummus (which we make ourselves, by the way) blended with peppadew, a proprietary brand of sweet and spicy piquante pepper from South Africa that is pickled and prepared in a particular way. After making a prototype batch and getting the tasting approval from Kyle and Rebecca, we made a big batch and it's now on the shelves. We promise it's unlike any hummus you've ever had before.

What is hummus anyway? If you've never had it before, it's basically a dip made from chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini (sesame seed paste), plus other ingredients depending on how you make it. It's common throughout the Middle East. In fact, just about every Middle Eastern country claims to have invented it. The truth is that nobody knows its exact origin. Chickpeas were one of the first plants cultivated in Mesopotamia and hummus has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. We love it because it's filling and healthy.

As a side note, we also just started selling a bean dip made from white beans, onions, parsley, spices, and a bunch of other goodies. We don't make this one, but trust us when we say it's good.

Why Hummus??

So what to do with down time between knocking down walls and running 2 stores? I make Hummus for all to enjoy. :-)
For a long time we would have friends over and we would make little foods to share with friends and family. As kybecca has grown and continues to evolve our friends have convinced us that we should share our way of living; more natural, organic, closer to the grain, with the general public. Hummus is one of those items.
Rebecca found this article In the Yahoo finance section that supports what we already know and love. It is definitely worth pointing out that even in hummus, not all are the created equal.
When I make our hummus I use only the freshest ingredients I can find. I zest the lemons, crush the garlic, great tahinni and most importantly, the oil. I use the Lakonia Olive Oil from the heart of Greece's Eurotas valley in south central Peloponnese. Famous for its Spartan past. 80% of the Greek olive oil is extra virgin, which is the top-ranked classification category in the world. This makes Greece the world's largest producer of extra virgin olive oil. There are other great oils but this is the one I use for hummus.
Care is given to what we do here at kybecca and we think you can taste the difference!
Eat all you like. I'll make more.

Hummus is back in stock

I know a few of you came in over the weekend and were disappointed to find we hadn't made more. Kyle has made another large batch and it is back in the cheese case.
