Hummus is a tasty snack, but it often goes bad very quickly if you don’t eat it within a few days. Typically, store-bought hummus is stored in the refrigerator for a week after opening, while homemade hummus stays fresh for three to four days.

The influencer and home life hacks expert shared a foolproof way to keep hummus fresh for months after you bought it. Casey Major Bunce, also known as Major Mum Hacks on TikTok, said that all you need to do is freeze it.

“Once you open the jar of hummus, take as much as you need at the moment and then just freeze the rest in ice cube trays or silicone molds. Then you can move them to an airtight container, and they can last for at least four months in the freezer,” the author of the video explained.

The main guarantee that your hummus will remain fresh and retain a pleasant flavor is an airtight container for storage.

Please also note that hummus can dry out if stored in the freezer for a long time due to its high chickpea content.

Experts advise pouring olive oil over the hummus and closing the lid tightly. This additional moisture ensures that it will be just as tasty and have the right consistency.
