It is common for some to be presented at this time of year with chocolate easter eggs . However, if they are not consumed quickly, they can be stored in the refrigerator without offering health risks when consumed?
As I told CNN the nutritionist Helena Fioravanti Easter eggs must be stored for a maximum of three days in the refrigerator . If they are made with homemade chocolate, the period should not exceed two days .
“If it goes beyond two or three days, with the Easter egg already opened, I do not recommend consuming it. It could be ruined,” he says.
However, the nutritional rule only applies to eggs that have already been opened. Those that are kept in the original packaging, with all seals, will remain safe for consumption until the indicated expiration date.
In the case of artisanal chocolates, the expiration date must be considered within three days of manufacture.
To store longer
Even so, if it is necessary to store it for longer, the nutritionist's recommendation is to prioritize the freezer or freezer.
“Sometimes, people can’t eat everything. So she can freeze and consume within three months “, says Fioravanti.
In this case, the professional's tip is to cut the chocolate into small pieces and divide them into several portions in aluminum foil before freezing. Thus, when defrosting, it will be possible to carry out the process only in the quantity to be consumed.
