How long does hummus last?
Although fresh homemade hummus tastes heavenly, it has a short shelf life. To keep your hummus tasting fresh for a week, store it in an airtight container at 4℃ in your refrigerator. Additionally, you can store your hummus in the freezer for a longer period and defrost it before eating.
