The crisp Mexican yam bean root, eaten raw. Whole and cool it keeps four months, which is remarkable for something in the produce aisle.
How long it keeps
Unopened, this keeps 4 months — which is what puts it on the long shelf.
| As sold | Unopened, in the cupboard | Once opened |
|---|---|---|
| fresh | 4 months | — |
Counted from the day you bought it. Figures are the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper table's, for unopened storage at room temperature; FoodKeeper counts a month as 30 days.
FoodKeeper's own note: 1-2 weeks if inappropriately handled.
The table was not pulled from USDA — fsis.usda.gov answers 403 to non-browser clients from this machine — so it came from a mirror of the data.gov dataset and its vintage is unverified. Treat a single figure as indicative, not as a use-by date.
