Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Coconut Curry expire?
An unopened commercial jar of coconut curry can last up to a year past the printed date on the package if it is stored in a cool and dry place. After opening, it can last for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. However, if you freeze it, its quality can last up to 4 to 6 months.
How do you tell if Coconut Curry is bad?
You'll know if your coconut curry has gone bad when there is an off smell, change in color, or mold growth. Also, if the curry sauce separates into its different components, it's a sign that it's spoiled.
Tips for storing Coconut Curry to extend shelf life
• Keep the curry in a cool, dark place before it's opened, such as in a pantry.
• Once opened, always store it in the fridge. This drastically helps in extending its life span.
• If you're not planning on consuming the curry within a week or so, consider freezing it in an airtight container to really extend its shelf life.
• Always use clean utensils when scooping the curry to prevent bacteria from contaminating the sauce.
