Storage depends on your climate and whether the mix contains dry-fruit powder; many moms freeze a large batch and keep a small 10-15 day container out for daily use.
⚠️ Caution:In humid conditions, make smaller batches to avoid spoilage; discard any mix that smells off.
Parents worry the homemade mix will spoil or turn rancid, especially mixes with nut powders in the heat. The community advises matching storage to your climate - freezing big batches and keeping only a small portion out, and refrigerating anything with dry fruits.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
If making in quantity, freeze it in summer and take out a small container batch for about 10-15 days for regular use.
It depends on where you live. In humid areas, do not make large quantities - make enough for 5-6 days and keep in a cool place rather than the fridge. In drier places like Bangalore you can keep it outside for 2-3 weeks.
Anything with dry-fruit powder is best kept in the fridge, since nuts and seeds release oils in summer heat. Freeze a big batch in clean steel dabbas and keep about 10 days' worth outside.
