Safety first: This guide provides general information. When in doubt, throw it out! Trust your senses and err on the side of caution. If something smells, looks, or tastes off, don't consume it.
unopened pantryBest by date + 1-2 weeks
Signs of Spoilage
Visible mold (green, black, white fuzzy spots), strong sour or yeasty odor, excessive hardening or drying out (though less common unopened).
How to Check
Visual: Check the entire package for any signs of mold or discoloration, especially around the edges. Smell: Gently sniff the package (if possible) or immediately after opening for any off-smells. Touch: While still in the package, feel for excessive stiffness or hardness; they should still feel somewhat pliable.
Storage Tips
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep in original packaging until ready to use. Some wraps, especially those with fewer preservatives, may have a shorter shelf life.
opened refrigerator5-10 days
Signs of Spoilage
Visible mold (any color, fuzzy or slimy spots), slimy or sticky texture, strong sour, yeasty, or unpleasant odor, stiffness or dryness making them difficult to roll.
How to Check
Visual: Carefully inspect both sides of several wraps for mold, discoloration, or unusual spots. Touch: Feel the texture – they should be soft and pliable, not slimy, sticky, or excessively stiff/dry. Smell: Hold a wrap close to your nose and take a deep sniff; any sour, fermented, or off-putting smell indicates spoilage.
Storage Tips
To extend freshness, immediately re-seal the opened package tightly in its original bag, transfer to a zip-top bag, or an airtight container. This prevents drying out and exposure to air, which can encourage mold growth. Store in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
freezer6-8 months (for best quality)
Signs of Spoilage
Significant freezer burn (dry, discolored patches), strong freezer odors absorbed into the wraps, or a crumbly/brittle texture after thawing that makes them unusable for rolling.
How to Check
Visual: Check for excessive ice crystals or freezer burn, which indicate moisture loss and potential quality degradation. Smell: After thawing, they should smell neutral or like fresh wraps. Any strong, stale, or 'freezer' odor suggests quality issues. Touch: After thawing, they should still be relatively pliable. If they are very brittle or fall apart easily, quality has suffered.
Storage Tips
For best results, if freezing an opened package, wrap the original package in an extra layer of heavy-duty foil or place it in a freezer-safe zip-top bag, pressing out as much air as possible. To use individual wraps without thawing the whole stack, separate them with parchment paper before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. They can often be warmed directly from frozen in a pan or microwave.
