Handling protocols

  • Remove tough stems and damaged or yellow leaves.
  • Keep the bunch whole until preparation and wash thoroughly under clean running water.
  • Drain well and pick or chop only shortly before cooking.

Storage tips

  • Refrigerate immediately in a perforated or loosely covered food-safe bag.
  • For best freshness and quality, use within about 2–3 days.
  • At room temperature in warm conditions, prepare the leaves the same day where possible.
  • Discard leaves that become slimy, badly yellowed, moldy or sour-smelling.
