There is an opinion that the longer the prepared borscht stands in the refrigerator, the tastier it becomes.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, thinks differently: in her opinion, the shelf life of a dish depends on the products used in its preparation.
If you have cooked real borscht (not with vegetable broth, but with meat broth), then it can stand in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
The first one, which contains smoked meats, will not lose its taste if it is kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
If you added vinegar or lemon juice to the pan along with the other ingredients, this will extend the shelf life of the borscht.
But fresh herbs spoil very quickly, so they should be added to plates just before serving.
Otherwise, you will have to hurry: you need to eat the borscht within 48 hours.
Also pay attention to the signs of spoiled borscht. If you notice a sour smell that intensifies when heated, it is better to refuse to eat this dish. The presence of bubbles or thick foam on the surface of the borscht also indicates that you should choose another dish for lunch.
