Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Zucchini Chips expire?
Zucchini chips usually last for 2 weeks if kept unopened and stored in a cool, dry place. However, once the packet is opened, their shelf life can quickly reduce to 1 week if not stored properly. If frozen, zucchini chips can last up to 6 months, but their texture might change once they are thawed.
How do you tell if Zucchini Chips is bad?
It's fairly easy to identify if zucchini chips have gone bad. First, you may notice a change in their color, they might turn darker. The chips will also lose their crunchiness and become limp or soggy, signaling that they've lost their freshness. Lastly, if the chips exhibit a rancid or 'off' smell, they should not be consumed.
Tips for storing Zucchini Chips to extend shelf life
• Always make sure to reseal their pack tightly after use or transfer them to an airtight container to retain their crispness.
• Keep zucchini chips in a cool, dry location, away from heat or sunlight.
• Freezing them can extend their shelf-life, but to enjoy their original texture, it's better to eat them fresh.
• If freezing, spread them out on a tray first to prevent them from sticking together, then transfer into a freezer bag.
• When thawing frozen chips, leaving them at room temperature for a few hours should be enough.
