WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabra Dipping Company, the country's leading hummus manufacturer, today unveiled a new line of Garden Variety hummus in two flavors, Southwest and Tuscan Herb.

As with all Sabra products, the new hummus flavors are made with the freshest ingredients and these flavors have the extra twist of using authentic flavors from the regions they represent. The Southwest hummus features corn, black beans and jalapeño peppers, while the Tuscan Herb combines red peppers, tomatoes, carrots and spinach with Sabra's smooth hummus.

"We are really excited about the new flavors in the Garden line. Initial retail and consumer reaction has been very strong," said Ken Kunze, Chief Marketing Officer for Sabra Dipping Company. "Consumers love Sabra hummus and look to the brand to bring them a little food adventure. The new flavors are a fresh take on hummus inspired by gardens from around the world. As the market leader, we are looking to take the category to the next level."

The new offerings will join Sabra's family of almost 20 hummus flavors, salsas, guacamoles and Greek yogurt vegetable dips.

The new products will first appear on shelves in February and will be rolled out nationwide in coming months. More flavors of Garden Variety hummus will be introduced throughout 2012 and next year. All varieties of Sabra Hummus are gluten free and certified kosher.
