FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does coleslaw mix last in the fridge?
Unopened bags usually last until the 'best by' date. Once opened, it should be consumed within 3-5 days before it loses its crunch or becomes slimy.
Can I freeze coleslaw mix?
Freezing raw coleslaw mix is not recommended if you plan to use it for salad, as it will lose its texture. However, it can be frozen if you intend to use it in cooked dishes like soups or stir-fries.
What is the best substitute for bagged coleslaw mix?
The best substitute is a homemade blend of shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots in a roughly 4:1 ratio of cabbage to carrots.
Do I need to wash bagged coleslaw mix?
Most bagged mixes are pre-washed (triple-washed). Check the packaging; if it says 'ready to eat' or 'pre-washed,' additional washing is not necessary.
Is coleslaw mix healthy?
Yes, the mix itself is very healthy, being low in calories and high in vitamins. The health profile changes significantly once high-fat mayonnaise-based dressings are added.
How do I keep coleslaw mix from getting watery?
Salt the mix and let it sit for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture before adding your dressing.
What are common uses for coleslaw mix besides salad?
It is excellent as a taco topping, a crunchy addition to sandwiches/burgers, or as a quick vegetable base for stir-fries and lo mein.
How can I tell if the mix has gone bad?
Discard the mix if it has a sour or off smell, if the leaves appear translucent or slimy, or if there is significant brown liquid at the bottom of the bag.
