Cedars Natural Original Hommus
What You Should Know
Cedar's Natural Original Hommus is the everyday Mediterranean-style dip that you spot in the refrigerated deli aisle, usually shelved with other prepared spreads, refrigerated dips, olives and specialty cheeses. The 8-ounce plastic tub with a peel-back lid reads as 'natural' and straightforward, designed to sit near grab-and-go picnic ingredients like pita, pre-cut vegetables and snack platters. It fits shopping trips for easy entertaining, game-day prep, weekend brunches and simple snack runs, and performs equally well as a sandwich spread for meal-prep Sundays. Brand positioning leans into Mediterranean authenticity and wholesome convenience — Cedar's projects a family-friendly, health-conscious image that appeals to shoppers looking for plant-based protein and familiar pantry flavors without fuss. Label characteristics include a 'natural' tone, simple ingredient listing and no prominent kid-oriented graphics or organic certification; it trades flashy health halos for an artisanal, clean-label look. In plain processing context, this is a commercially prepared hummus made from cooked chickpeas and tahini with added oils, seasoning and small stabilizers or acidulants to preserve texture and shelf life. Sensory details: the texture is creamy with a slight graininess from ground sesame, a glossy surface from sunflower and olive oils, and a bright, citrusy tang from citric acid underpinned by cumin and garlic. Rituals around it are casual — scooping with pita, spreading on toast, dolloping onto a salad — and its 60-calorie per serving profile plus modest sodium (115 mg) makes it an easy, familiar choice for everyday snacking.
