BROOKLYN, N.Y., Nov. 17, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonny & Joe's, the nearly centennial family business born and bred in Brooklyn, announces the addition of Ganush™ to its popular line of hummus and vegetable spreads. A core evolution of the brand's acclaimed flame roasted Babaganush, Ganush™ roasted eggplant and bean spread brings trademark robust, flame-roasted flavor in every delicious nutrient-dense bite.
To ensure Ganush™ meets Sonny & Joe's highest quality standards, every batch is made with the finest, freshest ingredients and spices hand chosen from all over the world and prepared in micro batches. A perfect treat for entertaining during the holidays, baby showers, birthday parties, football games and more, the rich creamy spread is a decadent but healthy snack when served as a dip with vegetables or crackers. When used on sandwiches and bagels, Ganush™ is a tasty low-calorie replacement for mayonnaise.
With just 45 calories/serving, the antioxidant rich and cholesterol free spread provides a significant source of protein, cholesterol-lowering fiber and is a strong contributor to heart health. "We are proud to continue Sonny & Joe's tradition of bringing the highest quality, best tasting vegetable spreads to dining room tables across the country," said Pahzeet Liebermann, Head of Marketing for Sonny & Joe's. "Ganush™ is an innovation�to healthy�spreads that is as nutritious as it is delicious."
Ganush™ is available in five robust flavors (see below) and sold in 10-ounce and 16-ounce containers nationwide. A full list of Sonny & Joe's products and retailers is available at sonnyandjoes.com.
