How long does hummus last?

Homemade hummus will generally keep for 1 week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze hummus?

If you want to make a BIG batch of hummus, but you’re not going to eat it all within 1 week, you can easily freeze hummus to save for later. Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. When ready to use the hummus, let it thaw in the refrigerator a day before use. I recommend freezing hummus in individual servings rather than one big tub. That makes it easier to grab what you need instead of thawing the whole thing every time.

Is hummus healthy?

Hummus is definitely one of the healthiest dip options, which is great to hear since it’s so delicious! It’s low-calorie, full of plant-based protein (chickpeas!), and it’s loaded with vitamins and nutrients. It’s also good for the heart and the digestive system, so it’s a really good thing to add into your diet.
