Handling protocols

Handle gently because the soft leaves and stems bruise and collapse easily.
Remove wilted, crushed or slimy sections and keep the bunch intact until preparation.
Wash under clean running water immediately before cooking and drain excess water well.

Storage tips

Refrigerate immediately in a loosely closed or perforated food-safe bag with excess surface moisture removed.
For best freshness and texture, use within about 2–3 days.
Without refrigeration, use as soon as possible, preferably the same day.
Discard leaves that become slimy, extensively yellow or brown, mushy or sour-smelling.
