CiCi’s Story
Hello and welcome! I’m Christina, founder of CiCi’s Hummus. Here’s how the name started: I became an aunt for the first time in 2017, and my auntie name became CiCi. My oldest nephew, Z, started to love my homemade, creamy hummus before he was a year old. He can’t get enough; he loves it! One of his first word at 19 months was hummus! So what is CiCi’s Hummus?
It all started in 2014 when I returned home from traveling for 7 months in the Middle East. (Before my trip I didn’t like hummus and I was scared I wouldn’t like the food). I took a basic recipe as a base and tweaked it quite a bit to make it my own. It quickly became my favorite snack; every time I tasted it, it took me right back to the bustling streets of Jerusalem. I would share what I had with my team at work and people started to rave about it. Five years later, I returned to the Middle East for several months and after coming back home, I decided to sell my hummus for the holidays and one order quickly became 20. It gave me so much pleasure to see how my customers enjoyed it, so I decided it should be available to the community. CiCi’s Hummus truly is remarkable hummus, not only for its flavor, but also for its nutrient-rich properties.
My background is in nutrition and I find it a daily struggle to eat right. I learned two important things in my nutrition classes in college: 1) more color a vegetable has, the more phytochemicals and nutrients there are and 2) humans need to consume a variety of colors to adequately give our bodies the nutrients it needs to fight disease. I don’t know about you but vegetables have never been my favorite food and I find it a struggle to get my 9 servings in a day (yes, I said 9!) It becomes so much easier to eat them if they’re incorporated deliciously into hummus! From beets, to spinach, roasted red pepper, garlic, and beyond, CiCi’s hummus is power packed with nutrients and it’s so delicious! Finally, there is something that tastes delightful and is nutrient dense! It gives my nephew, Z, joy and it gives me joy knowing his body is being provided with essential vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and protein to aid in healthy development. It’s a win-win! Eat the rainbow! Thanks for reading and I hope you will enjoy CiCi’s Hummus!
