Question 1

When does lemonade concentrate expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened, a can of lemonade concentrate will typically last for about 1 year stored in the pantry, well past its printed date if stored properly. After opening, it should be used within a week if stored in the refrigerator. When it comes to freezing, unopened cans of lemonade concentrate can be frozen indefinitely, but should be used for quality purposes within nine months to a year. Once defrosted, use the concentrate within a week.

Question 2

How do you tell if lemonade concentrate is bad?

Accepted Answer

Lemonade concentrate gone bad is easy to spot. The most apparent sign is a sour or off smell upon opening the can. Additionally, if you notice any color change, such as turning brown or developing dark spots, it's best to discard the product. And if you have any doubts, it's always safer to throw it out than risk food poisoning.

Question 3

Tips for storing lemonade concentrate to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store unopened lemonade concentrate cans in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

• After opening, place it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. The cooler temperature will slow down the rate of spoilage.

• If you don’t think you’ll use the whole can within a week, consider freezing portions in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag. When you need it, just grab a cube or two and dissolve in water.

• Never store lemonade concentrate in can after opening, the acid in the product can interact with the metal, causing it to taste metallic.
