how long is cooked lentils good in refrigerator
With age, the color may fade a bit, but the flavor will not noticeably deteriorate. Lentils should be stored in a sealed package or airtight container in a cool, dry place. For best flavor and presentation, use dried lentils within one year. Cooked lentils may be refrigerated 3 to 5 days in a sealed container.
Storing Cooked Beans. I have found that when I store cooked beans in the refrigerator they only last about 2 days. I put them in individual baggies, as Sassy suggested, in 1 1/2 cup portions and thaw as I go along. I find that they are ALMOST as convenient as canned beans, but much better for you (because of the sodium) and far cheaper.
