Zena Foods Mediterranean Food

I was pleasantly surprised how delicious this food was. I bought the avocado/​cilantro hummus, roasted garlic hummus, tabouli, pita bread, feta cheese salad and the tzaziki. The Kaiser on Morse Way, Sacramento hosts the Farmers Market every Friday. I was given samples of each of the items I bought. –such flavor and filling. I brought everything home for lunch and the family loved everything.

Huge fan! My absolute favorite hummus, pita bread, tabouli, and feta. I have been going to their farmers market stands for years. Very friendly and always helpful.
My favorites are the prince Gabriel and the sun dried tomato hummus.

I bought Zena Foods hummus (several flavors) at the farmers market in Roseville. All were excellent and I will definitely be buying them again!

Zena Foods made an appearance at our local farmers market recently. Never seen them there before. Never heard of them. They were busy and giving out free samples. A guy stood up front and handed out bread and they had squeeze bottles out for you to pick what you wanted to try. People were asking the guy behind the table if they could try items not in a squeeze bottle like the Prince Gabriel (some feta cheese mix) and he’d oblige.
5 items for $ 20. Not bad.
It was so good that picking 5 items to buy was easy.
Hope to see them again. And if you see Zena at your market– definitely stop and try it.

I ran into Zena Foods at my local farmer’s market. I was very hesitant because I have never been a big fan of hummus, but in an effort to introduce different flavors and textures to my toddler, I wanted to at least give it another shot. The vendor was more than friendly — he saw my hesitation but offered my so many different samples, I was blown away. He let me try everything from hummus to feta. Everything was not only very delicious but very fresh tasting. It will be one of my weekly stops now! I cannot stop eating the Pita chips. I can’t wait to go back and try a different flavor! :)

Huge fan of Zena Foods! They create delicious, healthy and creative hummus as well as tabhouli, tzaziki sauce, pita bread and pita chips. Their Lemon Pepper Garlic Pita chips have so much flavor that you almost don’t need to dip it into anything but if you do… then it’s like a magical combination that lights up in your mouth. Hit up their booth at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market on Alvarado Street. It’s like a hummus tasting booth… no joke… killer. Zena Foods is run by a husband and wife team… you can see Ahmed at the farmer’s market with his big smile and his booth always has a welcoming vibe.

Ahmed and his brother used to own Baba Foods, which I found at the Kensington Farmers’ Market a few years ago. I haven’t been to the market for a while. Alan got into the habit of going himself after my knee surgery, so today was the first day I went. I had noticed that Unilocal reviews for Baba Foods were now pretty much in Southern California, so when I saw Ahmed at his stand w/​its bright yellow sign I was delighted. He greeted me w/​a huge hug. We were going to buy some babaganoush to serve our company tonight but Ahmed filled a bag w/​a variety of his products, insisting over our protests. He gave us far more than we would have purchased and charged us much, much less than they were worth. To top it off, he included two ripe, sweet peaches he’d acquired at the market. It was a generous gift from the heart and it will take us a while to finish it all.
Most of the farmers’ markets he visits are in the Monterey/​Salinas area, where he lives, but we are still lucky enough to have him continue at the Kensington Farmers’ Market.
