Home Storage of Canned and Frozen Foods
Proper storage is important in maintaining the quality of processed vegetables. If you keep unopened canned vegetables in a place no warmer than 75 degrees F, they will usually retain their quality for a year or more. The color, flavor, and texture of canned vegetables that have been stored at very high temperatures or for prolonged periods of time may not stay at top quality, but the vegetables will still be safe to eat. Once a can has been opened, the vegetables should be refrigerated if it is not for immediate use. Vegetables stored in a refrigerator usually will keep well for only a few days. To maintain the quality of frozen vegetables for a longer period of time, store them in a freezer that can maintain a temperature of 0 degrees F or lower. If you wish to use only a portion of an opened package, be sure to return the remaining portion to the freezer before it has thawed. |
