Storage Time
Homemade salsa, when properly stored, typically lasts for 5–7 days in the refrigerator. Freezing is not recommended as it significantly alters the texture and freshness of the ingredients.
Temperature
Store homemade salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ideally between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- Foul or sour odor emanating from the salsa.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors (white, green, black).
- Slimy or unusually watery texture, indicating bacterial activity and breakdown of ingredients.
