Handling protocols

  • Drain well before chopping and avoid leaving chopped leaves at room temperature for extended periods.

Storage tips

  • Refrigerate immediately in a perforated bag or loosely covered produce container.
  • For best quality, use within about 3–5 days.
  • Without refrigeration, cook the same day where possible.
