How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining juice in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a week to maintain its fresh flavor and quality. Avoid leaving the opened juice at room temperature for extended periods, as this can affect its taste and potentially lead to spoilage.
