- Can I freeze ezme? Do not freeze this dish as it will will be completely wilted and soggy when thawed.
- How long will the ezme last in the refrigerator? I have eaten this the following day and it is still very crisp and fresh. More than 1 day old it will not be nearly as crisp and will needed tossed.
