Philadelphia, PA - There are various ways to store celery juice, but storing it properly is important. Keeping it in the fridge for up to 72 hours is fine for occasional use, but it's not advisable to keep it in the refrigerator for days. The juice could become contaminated with bacteria and molds, harming your health. If you notice a strange color or smell, or notice bubbles, it is best to discard it.
How Long Does Celery Juice Last
To prolong celery juice's shelf life, keep it in a tightly sealed plastic container or glass jar. Plastic bottles are less convenient to store celery juice in and are not dishwasher-safe. The plastic may contain toxins that can leach into the juice. For this reason, you should only store celery juice in a glass mason jar. Keeping it in a glass mason jar will ensure the juice stays fresh for at least 72 hours.
Unrefrigerated celery juice may change color and have a bad odor. This is a sign of mold growth and will affect its flavor, color, and nutritional value. Always discard spoiled celery juice immediately. It is still okay to drink celery juice before it loses its flavor. If you're worried about consuming bacteria, consider making an apple-and-celery juice smoothie.
