Little Sesame is shaking up the category with its highly acclaimed freshly spun hummus. Founded in 2016 by Nick Wiseman and Ronen Tenne while cooking on the NYC fine-dining circuit, Little Sesame's first evolution was as a pop-up in a 500-square-foot basement. This ultimately led to the duo opening their flagship restaurant in downtown Washington, D.C. in 2018. In June 2021, Little Sesame launched its grocery-ready hummus line in 14 Whole Foods Market locations. Today, Little Sesame is available in close to 3,000 stores nationwide, including Sprouts, Whole Foods Market, Wegmans, Foxtrot, Erewhon, and more. Little Sesame is proudly made with American organic chickpeas that are 100% regeneratively grown exclusively for the brand by farmers in Montana and across the Northwest. Little Sesame is certified USDA Organic, non-GMO Project Verified, OU Kosher, and uses fresh-squeezed lemon juice as its only preservative.
