Amman’s MEZETE Wins 2026 Vegan Besties Award, Showcasing Middle Eastern Vegan Heritage

From the heart of Amman, MEZETE Authentic Middle Eastern Foods has proudly won the 2026 Vegan Besties Award at Expo West, with its “To Go” Classic Hummus with Breadsticks recognized as one of the year’s most innovative plant-based products. Presented by World of Vegan, the award celebrates brands that are reshaping the global vegan movement through creativity, accessibility, and cultural impact.

This award is not only a testament to MEZETE’s innovation but also a celebration of the Middle East’s deep-rooted vegan traditions. The award-winning hummus snack reflects the region’s culinary heritage, offering authentic flavor in a modern, portable format that resonates with today’s lifestyles. With distribution in more than 50 countries and recent expansion into the United States, MEZETE is carrying the Middle East’s plant-based identity onto the global stage.

The company’s clean-label promise reinforces its commitment to inclusivity and quality. All MEZETE products are preservative-free, Project Non-GMO Verified, vegan, Halal certified, and many are gluten-free. Beyond hummus, MEZETE continues to showcase the richness of Middle Eastern cuisine through dips, sauces, soups, and stews, positioning the region as a leader in ethical and sustainable food innovation.

MEZETE demonstrates that plant-based food can be both practical and deeply cultural, carrying the flavors and values of the region to audiences everywhere. Looking ahead, MEZETE will present its award-winning products at the DOT Foods Innovations Show in Houston, Texas, from April 22 to 24, 2026, continuing its mission to share Middle Eastern flavors with new audiences worldwide.
