Can Polenta Go Bad

There is a best by date on each package, however the polenta is likely still good for a few months past that point since it’s airtight. We normally recommend if you want to consume our polenta after the best by date, be sure it’s not more than three months past.

How long does polenta last?

Polenta is an interesting alternative to potatoes and rice, and it keeps very well in the fridge for up to five days.

Why is polenta bitter?

Polenta that hasn’t been properly cooked tends to taste bitter. Additional boiling water, a spoonful at a time, may be added if the mixture becomes too thick to stir. Dissolve any lumps by pressing them against the side of the pot with the spoon.
