Chicago Raw Food is an organization that strives, "to deliver only the highest in quality of fully uncooked, 100% plant-based products to an under-served community in need." Not only is the whole "raw" movement a major health trend with added health benefits, but it highlights the quality of the ingredients being used. I am a firm believer that in cooking, simplicity is the sign of perfection and this hummus is flawless.
This hummus, only consisting of nine ingredients (sprouted garbanzo beans, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), tahini, garlic, parsley, Himalayan Crystal Salt (HSS), cumin, and cayenne), has an acidic taste and a different consistency, unlike traditional hummus. Pairs nicely with the traditional carrots, celery, apple slices, or crackers. Sometimes I even spread some on toast when I make a sandwich for an extra flavor kick!
One thing I wish is they would make it in a bigger container...tend to eat about half of it in one sitting. Also it is not the most budget friendly ($6.99 at WholeFoods), but if you're in it for the taste, I would recommend it!
Loving this brand of hummus, I naturally wanted to explore the Chicago Raw Food Website and the menu. They are located at 131 N Clinton, Suite 7. Saving the address you can count on a visit from Megan and I to check out the hype over the "raw" food scene!
You can find this raw hummus on the shelves in the refrigerated section (by the prepared foods stations) at the WholeFoods located off at the North/Clybourne Redline stop.
