Storage and Reheating Tips
Store the eggs, vegetables, and pineapple in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Keep the pineapple separate from the vegetables to maintain freshness and prevent excess moisture.
Hard-boiled eggs can be stored peeled or unpeeled and enjoyed cold straight from the refrigerator.
The vegetables may be eaten cold or reheated briefly in the microwave.
This bowl is not recommended for freezing, as the texture of the eggs, vegetables, and pineapple will be affected after thawing.
