Storage Time
Homemade hummus typically lasts for 3–5 days when stored correctly in the refrigerator. Freezing is not generally recommended as it can significantly alter the texture, making it watery and less appealing upon thawing.
Temperature
Store homemade hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ideally between 0–4°C (32–40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- An off, sour, or fermented smell.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
