Over the past decade the popularity of hummus has been steadily increasing; the average American consumes about 1.85 pounds of hummus each year. But hummus is no longer just a dip, O’DANG has re imagined the popular food item for today’s consumers. While the hummus dip category continues to grow, it hungers for innovation and O’Dang offers a low calorie solution that may be just that. Only 25-45 calories per serving!
O’DANG Hummus Dressings offer unique innovation outside the standard hummus dip tub. By developing the first hummus-based dressing and marinade, O’DANG has pioneered a new sub-category in the sleepy salad dressing set. Real chickpeas are the first ingredient in all O’DANG dressings and result in a creamy, rich consistency without the use of preservatives and cheap oils. O’DANG emulsifies American-sourced chickpeas until silky smooth to create full flavor dressings that are nutrient dense and naturally low in calorie count and sodium. O’DANG appears to be a new leader in plant-powered dressings as well, offering three flavor profiles in this area, empowering consumers to enjoy as much dressing as they’d like on their salads without the concern of artificiality, high caloric content, or lack of flavor.
Jesse Wolfe, O’DANG Founder and CEO, presented the brand in 2015 on ABC’s Shark Tank, showcasing his personality and passion as well as the brand’s attributes and unique points of differentiation. The Sharks and American viewers went into a feeding frenzy surrounding the creamy addictive hummus taste delivered as a dressing…Since 2015, O’DANG has grown from two Orlando farmer’s markets in 2014 to over 10,000 retail doors nationwide in 2019. Greek Tzatziki, Roasted Red Pepper, Honey Mustard, Caesar, Ranch and Buffalo Ranch retail at $4.99 per bottle.
