What is Hummus and where does it come from?
Hummus is traditionally a chickpea-based dip or spread that originates from the Middle East. Hummus has a variety of ways you can make it, but today I’ll be sharing our favorite way to make it where we add dill weed to it. You can find affordable dill weed in the bulk sections of your local supermarket, or here on Amazon*.
What is Hummus made out of?
Hummus traditionally includes these ingredients:
- Chickpeas
- Tahini
- Lemon Juice (Fresh is best.)
- Garlic Cloves
- Olive Oil
- Cumin
- Salt
- Cold Water
How long does hummus last?
Hummus will last in an airtight container for up to 1 week in your fridge. Its long shelf life in the fridge is part of the reason we love hummus so much. It’s easy to make a large batch of hummus and store it in the fridge to eat or cook with whenever we desire.
Can you freeze hummus?
Yes, you can freeze hummus! You can store hummus in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 6 months. When storing the hummus for freezing make sure to leave room in the container as hummus will expand once frozen.
Thawing frozen hummus:
Once you’ve decided to pull the hummus out of the freezer and it is completely thawed you might notice some excess liquid in the container. This is normal and is just some of the liquid separating from the rest of the hummus. Just give it a little mix before serving.
