Canned fruits typically have a long shelf life, but only if they remain unopened. Once opened, they can spoil quickly if not stored properly and may become moldy or ferment. Let’s explore some tips to prolong the shelf life of canned fruits.
1. Store in the Refrigerator
Always store opened canned fruits in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial contamination. Whether the weather is hot or not, bacteria can easily cause an unpleasant odor, especially with soaked fruits.
Maintain a temperature of 7-10 degrees Celsius in your refrigerator to optimally preserve opened canned fruits. However, instead of storing the entire can in the fridge, transfer its contents to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. This is because exposure to air can cause the can to rust, a common issue with most canned products.
2. Use Clean Utensils
When using canned fruits, opt for clean utensils like spoons to minimize bacterial contamination. You may also use toothpicks or skewers to retrieve the fruit, as the syrup environment can be conducive to bacterial growth if contaminated.
Note:
– Consume the contents within 3 days of opening the can and avoid prolonged storage in the refrigerator. Extended refrigeration can compromise the fruit’s crisp freshness and may have negative health implications.
– Always choose canned fruits that are within their shelf life and purchase from reputable sources to ensure quality.
Proper storage of canned fruits prolongs their usability, maintains their freshness, and preserves their vitamin and mineral content. Especially for soaked fruits, sensible consumption ensures the retention of nutrients beneficial to your health.
