Vegetable purees are best stored in the refrigerator. Transfer the puree to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag, removing as much air as possible. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze the puree in ice cube trays or small freezer-safe containers for easy portioning. Frozen puree can last for up to 2-3 months. Label each container with the date to keep track of freshness.
