Seabreeze, does the homemade hummus keep well refrigerated?

I love wraps. Most times will cook a little extra chicken to use for lunch the next day.

Philly Cream Cheese is good spread on the wrap too.

I don't know Redd, I never made it myself. I have to say the store bought hummus I've had doesn't keep that well, less than a week and I had some mold growing and had to trash it.
 
I make hummus regularly, cumin is optional. I add a little clove of garlic that I grind up with the chickpeas and a dash of paprika or cayenne pepper, lots of olive oil, tahini and some lemon juice. Keeps for days in frig, but we usually eat it all. We like it with naan bread and greek olives. yummidy yum.
 
I like that idea of single serve hummus Ameriscot. Will have to have a look around the grocery store. Likely a little more pricey but throwing out is pricey too.
