View attachment 246792 Looking for opinions regarding store bought canned tomatoes. Diced, crushed, etc. I thought I heard somewhere that tomatoes are acidic and dont store well for longer periods. I was digging through my canned food storage and found some that are quite a bit past expiration, which usually doesnt stress me too much, but some of these we're talking like 3-4 years past the best by date. Any rule of thumb people go by? SHould I toss them? Best by dates are written in sharpie on the labels. Month/year.
On an unrelated note, have 4 cans of beans that I bought yesterday. I usually go a good job ob checking for dents before I buy. Got them home and all four are dented, either near or on the top rim. Possibly from the bagger or jostling on the way home or just me not checking. Anyway, should I use up these fairly quickly or can they keep for a while?
Thanks
