Can you reuse glass jar lids for freezing?

Assuming that the question means to ask about reusing the lids on mason jars, which you should not use for freezing, the answer is, that technically, you can reuse the metal rings that tighten down but you should avoid reusing the metal discs which actually make the seal. These are basically coated with a gasket material and if they bend, warp, or become uneven, the seal may not be good. Most people do reuse them, but you are supposed to buy new ones for each new use, while reusing the same jars.

So, back to pickling, salt is used and often vinegar as well.

How long can you keep shredded coconut if the exp date past one month ago?

Does the packet mention it as the Expiry date or the Best Before Date. Best before date implies that the product would give its best quality before the given date. However the product could still be used even if it has passed the best before date. The expiry date on the other hand is more specific in terms of the last day in which the product is safe for consumption

Its not possible to give a general answer to this question as it depends on several factors such as,

  1. Type of product
  2. Whether the product is kept frozen or refrigerated all the time
  3. Presence of any preservatives etc

Yet it could still be used if it does not look bad, or have any unpleasant stench.

Anyhow the best and most safe option to take, is to dispose it an buy a new packet.
