Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I would think it will keep until the use by date, but make sure you keep it airtight. Air is what helps bacteria grow. Just watch it closely and if it smells weird throw it out. I did the same thing with Ricotta, I went to Gordon's Food Service and bought a 5 lb tub.

Since I'm the only one who eats it in my house it has been sitting in the fridge for awhile and there is still a lot left. There is a use by Dec date on the package. Will it keep that long once it's opened or is the shelf life shorter once I open it. Next time I'll get a smaller container.Thanks,Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Thanks, . I'll use the nose-test! It already tastes a little bit weird but I do like it. I think it's an acquired taste. Heck I'm eating Garbanzo beans in my salad now as I type. 6 months ago I wouldn't have even touched them! > I would think it will keep until the use by date, but make sure you keep it airtight.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hummus is made from garbanzo beans, and it will last a while...........if it says use by December, it will be fine until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Thanks. I hated to throw it away but wasn't sure if it would stay after it has been open. > Hummus is made from garbanzo beans, and it will last a while...........if it > says use by December, it will be fine until then.
