Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Zucchini Dish expire?
Our beloved zucchini dish doesn't have a long shelf life, so it's best to enjoy it while it's fresh. Unopened and stored in the fridge, it can last 3-4 days max. It follows the same timeframe once opened, but remember to always keep it refrigerated to ensure this. If you decide to freeze your zucchini dish, it may extend the shelf life up to 2 months, though the texture might be altered when it's defrosted.
How do you tell if Zucchini Dish is bad?
To tell if your zucchini dish has gone bad, you'll notice a change in appearance, smell, or texture. The dish might develop a slimy or discolored look. An off smell is also a definite signal that your dish is no longer safe to eat. And if the zucchini is softer than when it was fresh, it may be time to toss it out.
Tips for storing Zucchini Dish to extend shelf life
• Always store in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
• For longer shelf life, package the dish in airtight containers.
• Consider freezing the dish if you're not planning on eating it within a few days, but remember there might be some texture changes.
• Always label your dish with the date it was made or frozen for better tracking. It’s easy to forget how old things are in the back of your fridge or freezer!
