How much do you use per-serving? Would you use up a whole can? Can you store leftovers in air-tight containers (in the fridge, I presume)?

I used half a can of the green paste the first time. It was an intense peppery flavor but not off putting. If you don't like things hot then use a quarter can and work your way up from there. I diluted with 2 cans of coconut milk and a cup of chicken broth. I forget the thickener of tapioca flour so I put that in at the end anyway. I froze the left over can for later use. The whole concoction plus 3 chicken breasts, baby carrots and onion spent 8 hours in the crockpot.

You could probably use half of a can of paste with one can of coconut milk and make serving for 3. I'm not sure how long it would keep for. I usually use the whole thing with two cans of milk and just make a bunch of leftovers though so I haven't really tried it.

The directions on the can call for using 2 cans of coconut milk and a whole can of paste per recipe. I tried several times to make a half batch with 1/2 can paste and 1 can coconut milk, but it never came out right consistency-wise. However, if you like it less spicy, or you're making a different recipe with it (e.g. soup), you could just use a partial can and freeze the rest for later. I never had a problem using it from the freezer.

The can says a serving is 1.5-2 tablespoons depending on the curry but it doesn't say how many servings there are in total. This product is meant to be mixed with coconut milk and other items before being served over rice or noodles too. I suppose you could store it in the fridge but I'd try freezing it if I wasn't going to eat if in a few days. There are directions on the can but I watched a lady cook the green curry. She fried half a can of paste in a small amount of oil until it was fragrant. Then she added a can of coconut milk, swirled in a little water to get the last bits that were sticking to the side of the can, a tablespoon or so of fish sauce and maybe a half teaspoon of palm sugar. When it started to boil, she added deboned chicken. When the chicken was nearly cooked through, she added (cooked) carrots, (defrosted) green peas and (canned) bamboo shoots. Samples were served over rice noodles that had been soaked in water until soft and then heated up on the stove prior to serving. It probably took 15 minutes from start to finish but the veg were already cut and rice stick had already been soaked. D-lish!

It's just my wife and myself - empty nesters. I do like the fact I can go to Costco and buy large quantities of chicken and beef or whatever and freeze it in smaller portions. Also, when we make meals that serve more than the 2 of us I just freeze the balance. We've definitely saved money buying in bulk and leftovers do not spoil in freezer.

HI I usually plan ahead and make a bunch. Keeping them in ziploc bags. I will leave them overnight and then make another batch in the AM. Usually 12 is enough. I love them and they are a huge hit!! I have thought of trying to rinse and reuse but.....hmmmmm just don't know..lol

Hi Dina, I have reused them several times over. I keep them in the tray they come in, use a ziploc bag to store them in, and keep refrigerated.

Refrigerate any unused portion when you need to use your body heat melts it quickly. Or just set some out at room temp ahead of time

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

question 1: Use the serving size and multiple it by the number of servings per container to calculate the approximate number of bears in the bag. question 2: I only eat them frozen. Other brands I refrigerate because they lose their taste when frozen, but these are great and they last longer in your mouth, since you are defrosting them with each bite. Enjoy!

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

I store my jerky in the fridge after i make it i leave the bag open for a few days if you see moisture. if i make larg quanties i keep bags of jerky in the freezer untill needed ( most of the time it does not sit around long people eat it) i would only make enough to last a few weeks at a time

this from Amazing grass webpage ' Bottom line, if you have the ability to store open containers in your refrigerator or freezer, that is preferred storage method, but our products should be fine to consume as long as they are stored in a cool dry place.' I have mine in fridge

$50 seems like a lot for 3 days of food. I keep emergency food in my van, but it's just a big lunch box with a jar of peanut butter, some honey, crackers, dried fruit, nuts (trail mix), sardines, pressurized cheeze, some kind of dried meat, and a gallon or 2 of water. (I'm on a diet, so no candy bars!) It costs a lot less, it keeps for weeks or more, and it lasts more than 3 days! I'm adding some boiled eggs, not sure how long they'll keep but I'll bet they're good for a couple of weeks or so.

I did not and stored them at room temperature. You do need to eat them all after they come out of the microwave, otherwise they are kind of greasy. Avoid burning them. They crackle and pop when you open the bag after they come out of the micro. It tasted good and was fun to make.

From what I've read, the are good for about 2 years, but look at what the expiration printed on the cans you buy are (its depends on when they were canned). When I open the can, I put every thing I don't use then into small (serving size) zip lock bags, squeeze out the excess air, and put them in the freezer. These are really for an emergency, or a camping trip (most of the time when I open the can, it always gets used up pretty soon).Hope this helps.

I tried storing it out in the open, and wrapped in a paper towel inside a ziplock in the fridge. The one in the fridge stays fresher longer, but goes soft very quickly once removed. So I store the smaller pieces in the fridge for later use, and leave the larger pieces in a paper bag or a bowl and use those first.

I would personally use something like the OXO locktop containers for leftover meals. These are more for dry vertical storage. They can be used in the fridge or freezer, but are not dishwasher safe. The locktop containers are designed more for leftovers/lunches.

Do you mean after they've been opened? Because otherwise there'd be no reason to freeze them since they're in cans which should last years and years if unopened. So, if I did get that right, I see no reason why you can't freeze some of this maybe even in a small Tupperware or plastic bag with the air sucked out of it. If you haven't had it already, it's really really good stuff. Enjoy!

I always keep coconut and other nut flours in the fridge. I use them occasionally but not every week and they last well. If I buy more than one package, I put the extras in the freezer. I've kept them at room temp, and they've been fine, too. But I feel like I have extra shelf life if they're cold.
