How Long Does Coconut Milk Last?

by Simully

Coconut milk is a popular plant-based milk alternative made from the meat of coconuts and water. It is rich and creamy, making it a great choice for use in smoothies, baked goods, curries, and other dishes. If you have a can or carton of coconut milk in your pantry, you may be wondering how long it will last before it goes bad.

Unopened, canned coconut milk has a shelf life of about two to five years, depending on the manufacturer and the specific canning process used. Once opened, however, canned coconut milk will only last for about three to five days in the refrigerator.

Shelf-stable cartons of coconut milk have a longer shelf life than canned coconut milk. Unopened cartons of coconut milk can be stored at room temperature for up to a year, while opened cartons should be used within about seven to ten days.

It’s important to note that coconut milk, like all dairy products, can spoil. If you notice any off odors or flavors, or if the milk has separated or curdled, it’s best to discard it.

To extend the shelf life of your coconut milk, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Canned coconut milk should be stored in the pantry, while cartons of coconut milk can be stored in the pantry or in the refrigerator. Once opened, it’s important to close the lid tightly and store it in the refrigerator to prevent it from going bad.

In summary, unopened canned coconut milk has a shelf life of two to five years, while opened canned coconut milk will last for three to five days in the refrigerator. Unopened cartons of coconut milk have a shelf life of about a year, while opened cartons should be used within about seven to ten days. To ensure that your coconut milk stays fresh and safe to consume, be sure to store it properly and pay attention to any signs of spoilage.
