Sabra vs Good & Gather Hummus

Taste Test

Sabra was the clear winner in our taste test. It was pleasantly thicker and smoother than the grainier Good & Gather hummus. Sabra tasted much more like homemade hummus compared to the store-bought flavor of Good & Gather. Good & Gather had a strong lemon taste that was a bit overpowering for us with a slightly artificial taste. It was almost like the lemon flavor was included to potentially mask the taste of other unfavorable ingredients.

Overall, Sabra is the superior hummus with a nice balance of chickpeas and tahini that goes down smooth. Generally, you will pay over $1.25 more for Sabra vs. Good & Gather (see the price section below). We don’t always say this when comparing a store brand to a name brand but Sabra is worth the extra cost.
