Receiving Inspecting:
Choose greens that are clean and fresh. Avoid wilted or discolored greens.
Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 32-36° F/0-2° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Shelf-Life:
10 to 14 days.
Troubleshooting:
Color loss can occur if greens are exposed to ethylene gas. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.
Wilting may result if greens are stored in an area with low humidity.
Water-soaked spots indicate freeze injury; store properly.
Usage Ideas:
- Add greens to broth-based soups just before serving for a burst of color and nutrients.
