Can matcha expire 🍵 still eat?

Let me know that Matcha does not have a fixed expiration date, which we see many places as "Exp" that stands for "Expired" instead of "BB" that stands for "Best before," perhaps because it is more popular and easier to understand.

But actually, the expiration date here is the end of quality, not matcha. Brew out may not be as delicious as before > taste changes, smell changes, but it doesn't mean eat and stomach will lose. If tasted and accepted, it's okay (because it's expensive).

Matcha powder, if we collect it correctly, will last 6-12 months after opening. Matcha that has not been opened can be stored for up to one year and possibly more, depending on the preservation and packaging that contains matcha. Therefore, we do not need to confiscate the expiration date specified in Exp or BB, but instead observe it.

🍵 All in all, 🌿

Q: Can I eat expired matcha?

A: Yes, but the quality and nutritional value will be greatly reduced, but not adversely affected the body. 😚✨

🍵 matcha has not expired vs matcha has expired. 🍵

Now let's see how to distinguish between an unexpired matcha and an expired matcha.

Matcha 🍵 has not expired:

Color: Bright green

Smell: fragrant, refreshing, unique.

Taste: umami, mellow, not astringent.

Texture: Fine, Silky

Matcha 🍵 expired (at a much reduced quality):

Color: Pale and dull, lackluster looking (indicative of chlorophyll loss)

Smell: It has a stale smell or a pungent smell. It doesn't smell tea.

Flavor: Bland or it can become bitter. There is no freshness or dimension of taste.

Texture: Dry, crumbly like dust, not silky.

🍵, if your friends' matcha looks like this, it may be the best time to put it on another menu, such as bakery or savory-sweet food. In addition to matcha, you can drink and make a bakery, you can use a variety of dishes, such as smoothies, ice cream, yogurt mixes, chocolate nama, sosmuth salad, matcha baked rice, matcha sobas, ice cream, and make skin scrub mixes. ✨
