From what I can see, the sale of these things is pretty slow and each day there will be a lot of leftovers. I wonder how do they keep them from turning bad? These are not super salty or anything and it seems that they stay well forever.

  1. They store them cold and sell them the other day.

    Sometimes under questionable hygienic conditions.

  2. A lot of these things are preserved with some kind of acid, lemon, vinegar, and are also kept in a refrigerated environment.

    At the end of the day they are either thrown out (if the presumed shelf life is up), or put back in their respective containers and kept in a fridge i could imagine

    Sales might be slow at the time of your visit but that may change over the course of the day and they sell most of it. Or not. Who knows

  3. There are vents in the metal section and a clear plastic lid on the other side.
    It’s basically a refrigerator, albeit an energy expensive one.

  4. They’re pickled and/or preserved in acidic and salty solutions, usually vinegar. They’re also kept cold and refrigerated. They don’t go bad that fast and are perfectly safe to consume.

  5. Wow, saw such a stall inside the Kaufland store complex at 19.00 yesterday and I was thinking the same thing

  6. They are cooled in the case and most of these things seem to be pickled anyway. But they also only put out enough so that the display looks full while knowing roughly how much they will sell in a day. If the trays still look full in the evening, they already might have refilled them several times during the day. At night the leftovers will go in the cooler.

  7. When you buy them, usually if refrigerated they are still good after 4-5 days I have found.

    A friend of mine works in one of these stands and they remake their cremes every 2-3 days.

    Helps that a lot of the ingredients for these things are really really cheap.
