How long is the shelf life of chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a plant that many people like to soak. Chrysanthemum tea not only has a refreshing taste, but also has a relatively high nutritional value. Drinking it regularly will be very beneficial to your body. However, although chrysanthemums are made by drying, they actually have a certain shelf life. After the shelf life, they may not be edible. So, how long is the shelf life of chrysanthemum?

1. How long is the shelf life of chrysanthemum?

If stored properly, 1 or 2 years is fine.

Storage method: Herbal tea needs to be placed in a cool and dry place and sealed to avoid moisture and mold. Try not to grab the tea directly with your hands every time you drink it, because the tea will easily deteriorate if it is contaminated by sweat or oil on your hands. You can use a tea stick to scoop it out or hold the tea container and pour it out. Scented tea should be placed in a cool and dry place because light, moisture and temperature can easily cause the tea to deteriorate. If you put the scented tea in the refrigerator, you can extend its shelf life, generally about 2 years. However, scented tea does not need to be refrigerated in the refrigerator. It can be stored in a sealed glass jar.

2. Can you drink expired chrysanthemum?

After the shelf life has passed, it mainly depends on whether the dried chrysanthemum is moldy. If it is not moldy, it will not have much impact after a few days. If it is moldy within the shelf life, it cannot be consumed. Drinking moldy dried chrysanthemum can cause various diseases. Chrysanthemums that have exceeded their shelf life are prone to mold, and eating moldy chrysanthemums can easily cause illness.
