Hummus

Wish I could tell you. Mine never makes it long enough to freeze!

I don't see why it shouldn't though, as long as you have good containers.

The consensus on food sites seem to be yes, in small containers they freeze well, then defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Don't let it thaw on the counter or in the microwave, rather let it gradually thaw in the refrigerator and it comes out fine.

I've considered this myself since it's best made in a large batch and I'm only cooking for one...

I think it depends on the recipe, primarily the ratio of oil and water based ingredients. Oil and water freeze at different temperatures so you're likely to get a good amount of separation; it will look really weird. And it may not emulsify again when it's thawed. The flavour probably won't change much but the appearance and texture will be different.

I've always wondered how long it can last, if it lasts beyond the first onslaught of hungry munchers. A week in the fridge? A month? When does it get 'old'?

I wouldn't keep it longer than a week because it does go bad, and in a weird way - it ferments.
