Expiration & Storage Tips
When does spring roll wrapper expire?
When unopened and stored in a cool, dry place, spring roll wrappers last for about 8-12 months past the printed date on the package. Once opened, they should be kept in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator and consumed within about two weeks. If you ever find yourself with excess wrappers, they can be stored in the freezer for up to one year. When you're ready to use them, thaw slowly in the fridge before soaking in warm water.
How do you tell if spring roll wrapper is bad?
It's pretty easy to spot when spring roll wrappers are past their best. If you notice any dry or brittle areas, discoloration, a stale smell, or signs of mold, it's time to toss them out. Although they may not pose a serious health risk, these signs indicate that they have lost their pliability and won't perform well when you try to use them.
Tips for storing spring roll wrapper to extend shelf life
• Store unopened packages in a cool and dry place. Avoid temperature fluctuation as this can cause the wrappers to degrade faster.
• Once opened, keep in a sealed plastic bag and store in the refrigerator to help maintain their moisture content.
• For long-term storage, spring roll wrappers can be frozen. Separate individual wrappers with sheets of wax paper to prevent sticking together then place in a sealable plastic bag.
• Remember to thaw frozen wrappers slowly in the fridge to prevent the formation of ice crystals which can harm their texture.
