Are these canned dolmas safe to eat, why are they pink?
My canned dolmas (grape-leaf wrapped rice) are marked as expiring in 2023, but when I opened them they both had pink spots and the oil that pours off had some pink watery color to it.
The discoloration only occurred where the rice was exposed to the oil, if you peeled back the grape leaves the rice was white.
Smelled normal and tasted normal (the non-pink ones that I ate before I spotted the discoloration).

Why are my dolmas pink?
The discoloration only occurred where the rice was exposed to the oil, if you peeled back the grape leaves the rice was white. Smelled normal and tasted normal (the non-pink ones that I ate before I spotted the discoloration). The pink spot in each can looks like it's part of the filling.How long do canned dolmas last after opening?
You can store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days. Dolmades freeze very well. Store them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, you can either use the microwave or heat them in a sauce pan with just a little bit of water.How do you eat canned dolmas?
Dolmas are very versatile; they can be eaten cold or warm. Traditionally dolmas containing meat are eaten warm with a yogurt sauce that is lightly flavored with garlic. Rice filled dolmas are served cold with a drizzling of lemon juice and olive oil.Canned Dolmas
