The shelf life of Qiaojiazha moon cake is generally 20~90 days. The shelf life of moon cakes is mainly affected by the stuffing inside, but also by the packaging. Mooncakes filled with fruit can only be preserved for about a month, while sweet sugar fillings such as bean paste and red dates are slightly longer. Among them, the mooncakes with ice skin have the shortest shelf life, only 15~20 days, and they need to be kept in the refrigerator for so long.

Mooncakes that have been disassembled can generally be stored for only a few hours at room temperature, and can only be stored for about two days in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is best to eat the opened moon cakes as soon as possible.

Moon cake preservation method:

1, normal temperature storage: the ingredients of moon cakes are complicated, including pasta, rock sugar, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc., and some also contain cream, fruits and vegetables, etc. Moon cakes have many flavors and various fillings, which determines that moon cakes are a kind of food that is difficult to store, so they should be stored in a low temperature, ventilated, cool and dry place, and need to be stored separately to avoid rapid decay.

2. Isolated storage: When storing moon cakes, you must prevent mice, cockroaches and other things from touching moon cakes. After all, moon cakes are sweets, which will definitely attract these creatures, so they must be packaged well and not be too casual when stored.
