International Hummus Day arrives with a surge in plant-based picks

Every year on May 13, people celebrate International Hummus Day, which in 2025 coincides with a growing global enthusiasm for plant-based diets.
This event follows growing consumer demand for nutritious, sustainable options, reflected in the U.S. Plant-based market reaching $8.1 billion in 2024.
Hummus, a naturally plant-based, gluten-free spread made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, has evolved from a traditional Levantine dish to a global menu staple.
Retail data shows hummus leads plant-based protein and fiber options, with usage expanding in grain bowls, wraps, and culturally adapted recipes in cities like Madrid, Tokyo, and New York.
The day highlights how hummus’s nutrition and versatility signal wider shifts toward meaningful, health-conscious eating and increased plant consumption globally.
