Europe Hummus Market Trends

• Health advantages of consuming hummus fuel the market growth

Pureed-cooked chickpeas are used to make the traditional Middle Eastern meal hummus. Tahini, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil are other flavors usually added. In many European countries, hummus has become a staple food. In order to make hummus, chickpeas are mostly used, which are a good source of protein, resistant starch, polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, and a number of vitamins and minerals, including thiamine, riboflavin, phosphorus, folate, niacin, calcium, and potassium. Tahini is another ingredient used to make hummus, in addition to chickpeas. It is a paste produced from toasted powdered sesame that contains tocopherols, lignans, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium and phosphorus, and antioxidants. As a result, the market CAGR is growing due to the health benefits of hummus intake.

Furthermore, the popularity of veganism, which forgoes animal products including dairy, eggs, and meat from the diet, has increased over the past few years. People become vegans and add foods made of plant-based ingredients to their diet. Fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, veggies, and legumes are all part of a nutritious vegan diet that has undergone little processing. Hummus is becoming increasingly popular worldwide as more people adopt vegan or plant-based diets. Wraps, raw veggies, salads, and sandwiches are some meals and snacks that go well with the dip suitable for vegans. Additionally, numerous businesses sell a line of vegan hummus products.

Additionally, one of the reasons customers in the area accept hummus is that many hummus producers, including Moorish Ltd and Deldiche NV, have their corporate headquarters in Europe. A key component of hummus is sesame in the form of tahini paste. Because of this, manufacturers are experimenting with hummus flavors to draw in new customers and keep existing ones. Since it is a traditional food consumed with pita bread, hummus has recently acquired popularity in Europe. Any food gets an ethnic flavor from hummus and tahini together. Sesame seeds increase hummus's protein, vitamin, and critical mineral content, which is beneficial to health. Customers have a wide range of options thanks to the availability of hummus in various flavors, including red pepper and garlic. As a result, it is anticipated that demand for tahini will rise along with the popularity of hummus. Thus, driving the Europe hummus market revenue.
