Shelf Life Tips

  • How long do cooked snow peas last in the fridge or freezer? The exact answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - refrigerate snow peas within two hours of cooking.

  • Properly stored, cooked snow peas will last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • How long can cooked snow peas be left at room temperature? Bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F; cooked snow peas should be discarded if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature.
  • To further extend the shelf life of cooked snow peas, freeze them; freeze in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
  • How long do cooked snow peas last in the freezer? Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for 10 to 12 months, but will remain safe beyond that time.
