Cooked beetroot, whether steamed, roasted, or boiled, will last for around 5 days in the fridge.
Storing Cooked Beetroot for Optimal Freshness
Proper storage is key to extending the shelf life of your cooked beetroot. Here's how:
-
Refrigeration: Keep your cooked beetroot in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps prevent bacterial growth and maintain freshness. Aim for temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
-
Timeframe: As mentioned, you can expect your cooked beetroot to remain safe and palatable for approximately 5 days under proper refrigeration. After this time, it's best to discard it to avoid foodborne illness.
-
Signs of Spoilage: Before consuming, check for signs of spoilage such as a slimy texture, unpleasant odor, or mold growth. If any of these are present, throw the beetroot away immediately.
