Question 9

When does Garlic Knots expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened garlic knots, if vacuum sealed, can last up to a week past the printed date on the package. Once opened, they're best enjoyed within the first two to three days. Although you can refrigerate them to extend that to about a week, it's best to remember that the quality may start deteriorating after a couple of days. If frozen, they can last up to three months. Homemade garlic knots will generally keep for about two days at room temperature, but again, fresher is better for taste and texture.

Question 11

Tips for storing Garlic Knots to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store garlic knots in a tightly sealed container or bag to maintain freshness.

• For longer storage, freeze them. Wrap each knot individually in aluminum foil and then place them all in a freezer bag. This helps protect the knots from freezer-burn and flavor contamination from other foods.

• To defrost, remove as many knots as you need from the freezer, and let them thaw at room temperature. You can then warm them in the oven or toaster oven for a fresh-out-of-the-oven experience.
