Vegetable Dip or Hummus – You decide!
Sometimes I happen upon products in the grocery store by what seems like divine chance. Today was one of those times! After I tossed a bag of salad into my cart I spied a container that looked like one of my favorite foods – Hummus. But, alas, this was not the hummus section. And, this familiar looking plastic container was not called hummus, instead it was labeled Roasted Garlic Vegetable Dip by Mythos Farms.
Upon further investigation it appeared to indeed be hummus-like with soybeans and tahini as the main ingredients with very little else aside from garlic, olive and sunflower oils, spices and a small amount of preservative. The nutritional stats were in some ways even more impressive than hummus – just 1.5 grams of fat (0 grams of saturated or trans fats). And a nice little dose of fiber, 1 g per 2 Tbsp. And, when you consider some of the most popular hummus brands actually contain corn syrup and partially-hydrogenated oils, this new vegetable dip is a healthier alternative. And, it was nearly half the price of hummus. Only $2.99 for 16 ounces.
The best part is that this veggie dip is very good – nice and thick and able to handle anything that I would normally dip in hummus with ease.

I too have become a devoted fan of the Mythos Farms Vegetable Dip and purchased it regularly at my local Stop & Shop. Much to my disappointment, today I was told that Stop & Shop will no longer be carrying it. I have Googled Mythos Farms but they do not seem to have a direct web site where I can find another place to buy this. Darn! Why do the good, economical things seem to disappear??!! This was one of the best products I’ve used, and recommended. Does anyone have any idea how to locate more of the Mythos Farms dips? Any other store chains? I am wondering if this was something Stop & Shop marketed themselves… HELP! I’d appreciate any information available!
Hmmm! Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen the dip ever since I wrote this post. I did get it from S&S in the dip section. Maybe it was just a temporary product. I will see what else I can find and will report back if I get any new info.
