Little Sesame, the renowned hummus brand based in Washington, DC, has recently expanded its flavorful offerings with the launch of two exciting new varieties: Green Goddess and Golden Garlic. These flavors were first revealed to the public in a post on Instagram on March 4, followed by an official press release issued on March 11.
The Green Goddess flavor is a seasonal product and can be found at Whole Foods locations nationwide. In contrast, the Golden Garlic variant is available in select Whole Foods stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Little Sesame Broadens Its Flavor Spectrum
Since its inception in 2016 by two former fine dining chefs, Little Sesame has carved out a significant place in the packed hummus segment, now offering a total of 10 unique hummus flavors, including the latest additions. The brand is committed to using organic ingredients, and it proudly states:
“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.”
The new flavors, Green Goddess and Golden Garlic, represent the brand’s innovative spirit. Co-founder Nick Wiseman shared his excitement during the launch, explaining that:
“Ronen and my favorite days are in the test kitchen. We’ve been dreaming up these new flavors for the past year to bring new energy and big flavors to the shelf.”
Wiseman further emphasized the versatility of these new offerings:
