Watch this video to learn the harmful effects of eating Quinoa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf your quinoa is not mixed with anything and has been immediately refrigerated in an airtight container, it will likely be fine for up to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure the cooked quinoa is at a constant and fresh temperature, as its quality deteriorates with the slightest change in temperature. Ensure raw quinoa is stored in an airtight container to keep moisture from the seeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile most packages that come in quinoa are airtight, once you open the package, transfer it to one of the food containers if it doesn’t seal.<\/strong> Since the packaging helps keep the quality of the quinoa, it’s okay as long as the packaging is not opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is very important that the quinoa is stored properly to ensure that it will last as long as it should. When you store quinoa in the pantry, you can expect it to last almost three to four years. If you store cooked quinoa in the refrigerator, it can keep for 5-7 days, and if you store it properly in the freezer, you’ll be surprised to know that it can keep for eight to twelve months. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, if you have added other ingredients, this can significantly shorten the shelf life of the quinoa in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also important to remember that quinoa should not be stored at room temperature for more than two hours <\/strong>because this also encourages bacteria to multiply, which can cause quinoa to spoil quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
