Expiration & Storage Tips
When does green seedless grapes expire?
If left unopened in their original package, green seedless grapes will generally stay fresh in the fridge for about 7-10 days. If opened, but refrigerated, they can last for about 5-7 days. However, if left unrefrigerated after opening, they can deteriorate quickly and may only last a couple of days. Frozen grapes can last up to a year but the texture will change dramatically.
How do you tell if green seedless grapes is bad?
To tell if your green seedless grapes have gone bad, start by looking at their color and surface texture. If they are becoming brown or developing dark spots, they are on their way to becoming bad. Also, If they have a strange smell or taste, this is likely a sign of rot. If the grapes are shriveled and dry, this indicates that they are overripe and are no longer fresh.
Tips for storing green seedless grapes to extend shelf life
• Keep the grapes away from strong smelling foods. Grapes absorb smells very easily.
• Store grapes at the back of the fridge. This is the coldest part and helps to extend their life span.
• Do not wash grapes until just before you’re going to eat them, as moisture can speed up the rotting process.
• If you want to freeze grapes, wash, dry and de-stem them first. They make a great frozen snack in the summer.
• For the longest shelf life, grapes should be stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator without being washed until you're ready to eat them.
