  • I really enjoy this hummus. I get the small individual packs because i find it easier to eat this way as a snack at work. The hummus itself is flavorful and smooth so i would absolutely recommend giving it a try!

  • I tried hummus once a few years back and wasn't huge on it. Then I tried two flavors from this brand, and it's changed my mind. I'm not usually a dip person, but these are so good. I can't tell if I definitively like one flavor over another, but the caramelized onion one does have a bit more flavor to it.

  • Love this Company’s hummus! Very High Quality! This tastes soo good, the original is my go to! Love the lemon aftertaste. It isn’t overpowering. Amazing other flavors too like, the lemon, tahini, onion, and tomato and much more. Their customer service is very helpful! Love the smiling faces too 😊

  • The caramelized onion hummus was the perfect flavor with a little rosemary cracker. Perfect for appetizers or a lil dinner party

  • While out at a local coffee shop, I came across Little Sesame Hummus. I have to tell you that I was very impressed and became an instant fan. Little Sesame's caramelized onion hummus by far has to be my favorite as of this moment. This hummus was smooth, rich and created an ever-lasting smile on my face. It sure did bring some sunny vibes to my soul. Little Sesame hummus is 100% certified organic. I would highly recommend Little Sesame hummus whether it be at your next snack or a nice side piece at your next holiday party.

  • I haven't been this obsessed with something in a while. I had my first taste of Little Sesame when I bought their Fly By Jing collab (pumpkin chili crisp hummus). It was so good that I literally went back to try to buy more the next day and they were sold out. I was so devastated I bought two other flavors of Little Sesame. I demolish a container every time I open one and then immediately go out to buy another. I'm Middle Eastern so I feel particularly snobby about hummus. I feel like there are a ton of start-ups run by white people who come from non-historically-hummus-consuming regions of the world who are making gnarly creations like chocolate dessert hummus or black bean hummus (which is just black bean dip, guys). For years I usually have insisted on making my own hummus whenever humanly possible, because everything pre-made (that isn't from a Middle Eastern grocery store or restaurant) is so bad. UNTIL LITTLE SESAME! I am smitten! I am passionate! I have spent $30 on hummus in the last 14 days! If you see this, pick it up. All flavors are great, but herby jalapeno slaps.

    I beg you to please bring back the Fly By Jing collab hummus, Little Sesame!!!

  • I tried the classic of this and it definitely was good. It was smooth and had a good flavor. I think I just like some other brands of hummus better so that’s the reason that I gave it four stars. This is good though.

  • Little Sesame is a DC-based store that has now expanded its hummus products to grocery stores. I found several varieties of hummus and kids' packs at Whole Foods. The hummus comes in many flavors -- so far my favorites have been herby jalapeno and lemon. I like the modern twist on hummus, and the hummus taste wonderful. The kids' version comes in only the classic flavor -- I would like to see more flavors, so it would be easier to pack for lunch boxes (even for adults!)

  • I can’t believe this hummus is really made with sesame! It tastes just like other hummus. Super tasty, my kids love it, I love it. It pairs well with baby carrots and pita chips. The small cups are convenient for taking on the go.

  • Very high quality hummus! I love how clean and simple the ingredients are. Personally, I felt that the consistency was too liquidy and the taste too heavy on lemon, but that’s more of just my personal preference. I still very much like this brand, quality, and how it’s made in small batches.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE STAR HUMMUS. I bought the Herby Jalapeño Hummus just yesterday evening. Tell me why half of the package is gone already? The hummus is so good I'm ready to dedicate a month to trying to recreate it myself. Its so fresh and the herbs have spice but not too much spice. The hummus is rich but still very very smooth. tasty

  • This is my new favorite hummus. Easiest the smoothest hummus on the market, made in small batches where you can truly taste the quality and care put into each container. With interesting flavors, such as sundried tomato and caramelized onion, Little Sesame adds the tomato or onion jam to the bottom to give a little extra punch of flavor. Whether with crudité or your favorite crackers, Little Sesame hummus is a sure hit.

  • Little Sesame hummus is a game-changer! Its smooth, creamy texture and balanced flavors make it perfect for dipping, spreading, or enjoying straight from the container. You can taste the quality of the fresh, wholesome ingredients in every bite. A healthier, delicious choice that's become a staple in my kitchen. Highly recommended!

  • I love that the hummus is made with organic ingredients. It has a great taste and a variety of flavors.

  • This hummus is high-quality. It tastes smooth and creamy without any weird store-bought aftertaste. I really enjoyed the jalepeno one and I would definitely get this again.

  • Bitter after taste. I really wanted to love this brand because of the organic ingredient list, but it had a bitter flavor too it. It was ok with salt and vinegar chips, I think the acidity of the chip helped... I will try another flavor but so far it's just ok.

  • I am an adult but I really like the kids' hummus because I don't have to worry about opening a big tub and then having to figure out ways to use it all before it goes bad so that it doesn't feel repetitive. The little packs are perfect for a rice bowl for me.

  • I tried the Herby Jalapeno flavor and it was delicious! It was difficult to stop eating after one dip! Perfect with pita chips. I love the fresh, whole ingredients!

  • Really love this hummus so far. I tried the caramelized onion flavor and it had a great taste and texture. I like that it’s made with healthier and more authentic ingredients than some other brands. The packaging is also pretty unique and cute

  • Little Sesame makes a very smooth, subtle hummus that tastes like it was just made. I tried the Carmelized Onion flavor, and it was a little sweeter than I expected. I could have used a bit more garlic. Excellent texture.
