@mamalindacooks: 🤢I found a lemon cheong jar I made over a year ago, forgotten in the back of the fridge. Cheong can sometimes last more than a year if stored properly, but not this one. It got contaminated somewhere along the way. I thought this would be a good opportunity to show you what spoiled cheong can look like, since many people ask: How can I tell if my cheong has gone bad? Here’s how: • Mold: Fuzzy spots or growth on the surface or around the lid. These can be white, gray, green, or black. If you see mold, do not try to scoop it out. It is safest to toss the entire jar. • Smell: A sour, off, or rotten smell means it has gone bad. Good cheong should smell sweet and fruity. A slightly boozy scent over time is normal. To help your cheong last longer, avoid opening and closing the container too often, always use clean utensils, and keep it stored in the fridge. Depending on the type, cheong can last several months or even years when properly made and stored. #cheong #lemon #lemons #mold #moldy #mould #mouldy #rotten #foodsafety #expired #expirationdate #homemadefood #gross #disgusting
