Expiration & Storage Tips
When does broccoli slaw expire?
Unopened packaged broccoli slaw from the grocery store should be consumed by the 'use by' or 'best by' date on the package, usually this is within 1-2 weeks from the purchase date. Once opened, it can last up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator, depending on the freshness. Home-made broccoli slaw can also last up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. If you decided to freeze it, broccoli slaw can last for 12 months but it might get really soggy when defrosted.
How do you tell if broccoli slaw is bad?
Check for changes in the color, smell, and texture to determine if your broccoli slaw has gone bad. If it becomes excessively moist, brackish, or if the color turns to a gray or brown, then it's likely spoiled. Also, if there's a sour smell coming from it, chances are it's time to let it go.
Tips for storing broccoli slaw to extend shelf life
• Keep the unused broccoli slaw in its original bag and squeeze out excess air before sealing it with a rubber band or clip • Store it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator which is designed to protect your greens from drying out • If you've used some of the slaw, add a paper towel to the bag to absorb excess moisture and prevent spoilage • For long term storage, consider freezing your slaw. Spread it out on a baking sheet in a thin layer and freeze before transferring to a ziplock bag • When defrosting frozen slaw, defrost it gradually by moving it from the freezer to the fridge 24 hours before using.
