Handling protocols

  • Handle gently to preserve the aromatic leaves and remove blackened or damaged portions.
  • Keep the bunch whole during storage and wash only the amount needed immediately before cooking.
  • Drain thoroughly after washing and slice or tear shortly before adding to the dish.

Storage tips

  • Refrigerate in a loosely closed or perforated bag, preferably with a dry paper towel to absorb excess condensation.
  • For best aroma and appearance, use within about 3–5 days.
  • Without refrigeration, keep shaded and ventilated and use as quickly as possible.
  • Discard leaves that become slimy, moldy or abnormally sour-smelling.
