Notes
Storage
You can store homemade hummus for up to seven days in the fridge in an airtight glass container. Hummus will spoil more quickly in plastic, metal, or an open container. If your hummus has an off-putting odor, or it looks slimy, it’s not safe to eat and you’ll need to throw it out. We don’t recommend freezing hummus. Freezing can separate the oils in the hummus, changing its consistency.Nutrition
