What You Should Know

Esti Lemon Hummus Pita Chip Cup is a single-serve Mediterranean-style snack that you’d typically find in the refrigerated grab-and-go section of a supermarket — think the deli cooler or prepared foods case near cut vegetables, ready-made salads, and other dip-and-cracker snack packs. It competes visually and functionally with other single-serve hummuses, cheese-and-cracker cups, and portable lunchbox items. Shoppers reach for this product on quick grocery trips, for packed lunches, workday desk snacks, or as an easy addition to a casual gathering like movie night or game-day snacking. The brand projects a health-conscious, convenient image: Esti leans into fresh, bright Mediterranean flavors (lemon, garlic, tahini) and the package calls out Non-GMO status, signaling a “natural” halo without organic certification. The cup format — a divided plastic container with a sealed lid that keeps hummus and chips separate until use — emphasizes portability and single-serve convenience. Sensory cues are straightforward: creamy, slightly oily lemon-tahini hummus, fragrant with lemon peel and garlic, paired with crisp, slightly chewy pita chips that have a toasty-wheat flavor from olive oil and sunflower oil. Rituals around the product are informal — peel, dip, and eat at a desk, in a car, or between errands — and it’s often used alongside cut veggies or a small cheese wedge. In processing terms it’s a prepared, packaged snack made from recognizable food ingredients; the hummus is cooked and blended and the pita is baked and portioned for convenience. Nutrition notes on the label include 410 mg sodium and 1 g sugars; calories were not listed on the provided information.
