In the fridge: Transfer your hummus to an airtight container once it is made. Either a plastic or glass container with a secure lid will work. The hummus can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-7 days. When serving, it's essential to use clean utensils to avoid introducing bacteria that could spoil the hummus before its time.
In the freezer: If you're looking to preserve hummus for an extended period, freezing it is an option. Similar to refrigeration, it's best to store it in an airtight container, leaving some room at the top as it may expand slightly during the freezing process. Hummus can be frozen for up to 4 months and in the fridge overnight before use.
Before serving: For optimal flavor and texture, it's best to let your hummus sit at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes before serving, especially if it has been stored in the fridge or freezer.
