MarketBasket: A new twist on hummus
Perfect place for peels If you've been stashing banana peels and egg shells and coffee grounds in a large yogurt container at the kitchen sink like I have, you'll be grateful for this well-designed bin.
Smoked spread
The latest twist on hummus? It's smoked.
Don't ask us how they do it - the method is top secret - but Hummusphere infuses its hummus, in varieties ranging from the classic garbanzo puree to black bean, with applewood smoke. Try the fire-roasted red pepper, with lemon juice, tahini, and a subtly smokey flavor, arriving by this weekend on shelves of local stores. - Samantha Melamed

Perfect place for peels
If you've been stashing banana peels and egg shells and coffee grounds in a large yogurt container at the kitchen sink like I have, you'll be grateful for this well-designed bin.
It holds a day's worth of scraps with a lid that keeps the whole mess out of sight. But the lid can also stay open and sit in the sink to catch the scraps and peels to be transported to the compost bin.
