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.
