It is called Fountain of Health - and comes in 6 flavors - at least in my Columbus Ohio Kroger store. Outside of the incredible creamy taste it has no preservatives - and from the good until date seems to be as long as the others. Label says it is made in Canada. This product is the very best.

I would like to add that alot of Americans do know about hummus as well as many other Asian/Middle Eastern dishes. Instead of concentrating on the people that are apparently unaware of the details concerning eastern cuisines, why not celebrate the people who do appreciate them. Like yourself. One more thing.....I think it is a compliment that these "primitives" are enjoying the hummus their way. North America is on the otherside of Asia. I think it's quite amazing in that of itself that we enjoy eating different cuisines that originate from so far away. Just because they didn't grow with Grandma's ancient hummus recipe doesn't necessarily make them philistines. PS - "pink is the next white" :) -Cheers Dear Pimitive Hummus American Culture Blogger,

But you may be surprised to know that these foods are in fact a stable for most if not all american vegetarians. And High quality tahini, organic even, is available in nearly every vegetarian health food store or coop I have ever been in. I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say about it all, haha, and be sure to share any vegetarian recipes ya know, well even non-veggie as I can certainly modify them. Thanks.

The food here is mostly horrible and the Al Wadi tahina is one of my only comforts ;) i am not a hummus or tahina pro but it definitly reminds me of the "Yona" brand. it is very white , low on bitterness and in my opinion, even a bit sweet. i always enjoy just tasting some of it pure cuz it tastes really good! its definitly MUCH better than all the other Lebanese,Syrian and Jordanien brands i tried (The Turkish ones are not even worth mentioning) anyway here is the address of the company i found while googling for it: http://www.alwadi-alakhdar.com/ and shooky,if you are interested i can bring you one from germany to try :) ok

Still, Tahini holds forever (or just about) and stores well, so just go with it. There are a couple of other Lebanese brands available on-line; I'll try these as well and report soon.
