Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Lentil Curry expire?
Lentil curry can remain fresh and safe to eat for two to three days in the refrigerator if stored properly. However, it doesn't have a long lifespan once opened or cooked due to its ingredients. If you decide to freeze it, lentil curry can last up to two to three months while still maintaining optimal flavor. It’s important to note that while freezing may halt the growth of most bacteria, it doesn't kill them, so always heat your curry properly before eating.
How do you tell if Lentil Curry is bad?
There are several signs to indicate that your lentil curry may have spoiled. If there is a change in color, specifically darkening or becoming dull, or molds are visible, it might not be safe to consume. A sour or off-putting smell is another clear indicator of spoiled lentil curry. If the texture is slimy or it seems excessively watery, it's likely time to discard it.
Tips for storing Lentil Curry to extend shelf life
• Store your lentil curry in an airtight container to keep it fresher for longer. Ensure the container is sealed well before putting it in the refrigerator. • When you’re storing it in the freezer, leave some room at the top of your container as the curry will expand upon freezing. • Rather than freezing your curry in one large batch, consider separating it into portion size containers. This will allows you to thaw only the amount you need. • Always cool lentil curry at room temperature before refrigerating. Rapid temperature changes can lead to the growth of bacteria. • Lastly, always trust your senses. If it has been more than 2 to 3 days and the curry both looks and smells somewhat off, it is better safe to throw it away than risk food poisoning.
