          I freeze hummus in smallish containers all the time, and just grab one when I have run out. Have been doing this for years as I usually make or buy it in bulk, and have never had a problem. It does not affect the taste.

        Hi James, you can use a tablespoon or 2 when mixing the dip if it's a little bit dry and too thick. Otherwise you discard it. 🙂

        Hi Oria, I store our homemade hummus in an airtight container in the fridge and don't normally keep it any longer than 5 days after making it 🙂
