Introducing Hayati: A Modern Arabic Food Brand

LOS ANGELES  – June 27, 2025 – Hayati, an Arabic food brand founded by Palestinian-American Yasmine Borno, launched with its debut product: a premium, Palestinian-style Green Za’atar.

Hayati translates to “my life” in Arabic and is a term of endearment—much like habibi or darling. Borno is unveiling the Green Za’atar, a classic Arabic spice blend with thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac, to pay homage to the food of her life and to celebrate Arab cultures. 

“As a Palestinian-American, I noticed a gap in the market for Arabic food brands that felt modern, warm, and beautifully made,” Borno said. “I created Hayati with warmth and beauty in mind to celebrate the food of my life.”

Borno has spent nearly a decade in the food industry, where she was previously at Thrive Market. Hayati will continue to expand on products that bring the beauty of Arabic food to more people.
