Food Find: Roots Mango Sriracha Hummus
We all know that hummus is a vegan staple. In my quest to sustain my VB6 practice past January, I am always looking for satisfying snacks that will quell the thundering rumble in my belly at about 3:30 each day. It's a brutal time when dinner, and the promise of meat and dairy, seems like a very distant possibility.
I love hummus as much as the next guy, but even I can tire of it. That's why I was delighted to discover Roots. This Asheville, NC company makes hummus that's of homemade quality, with flavors you would never bother to make at home. I have been a devotee of the original flavor for several years, but last week I tried the Mango Sriracha for the first time. Cue choir. It is sooo good. Just spicy enough with a little sweet mango finish. I enjoy it with carrots, but I'm sure it's equally delightful with pita chips or cucumber slices.
It's available at Whole Foods stores nationwide.
