Enjoy the earthy, slightly sweet flavor of mashed topinambur, a nutritious root vegetable. This creamy preparation is best savored fresh, but proper storage ensures its deliciousness for a few days.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) to maintain optimal freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
Freezing
Mashed topinambur can be frozen for longer storage. Allow it to cool completely, then portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible. For best quality, consume within 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of liquid if needed. Some texture changes may occur upon thawing.
Signs of Spoilage
- Unpleasant sour or fermented odor.
- Slimy or sticky texture.
- Visible mold growth or discoloration (e.g., graying or darkening).
