This Week's Box: March 27, 2023

*Daikon Radish- Cut the top off the Daikon to help keep moisture in the roots, store the Daikon in a closed container in the fridge and they should last for up to two weeks if not more. A wet paper towel can also be placed in the container to help maintain humidity and keep the roots from wilting.

*Mandarins- They will keep a day or two at room temperature and up to a week in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

* Chives- Wrap in a damp paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. Keeps about 1 week.

*Chard- Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Keeps 2-3 days.

*Fennel- If used within a couple days, fennel can be left out on the counter, upright in a cup or bowl of water (like celery). If wanting to keep longer than a few days, place in the fridge in a closed container with a little water. 

*Mustard Greens- Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge.

*Green Garlic- Will keep 5-7 days in the refrigerator. Wrap the green garlic in a damp paper towel and place it in a plastic bag; or stick the green garlic in a tall glass with some water in the bottom. 

Lettuce- Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge. Keeps for one week.

OR

Spinach - To store Spinach, keep in the bag, unwashed, in the crisper. Take out what you plan on using and wash as you go. Will last 3-5 days.


Green Cabbage-Wrap cabbage in plastic wrap and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. An alternative to plastic would be placing it in a tightly-locking container that limits air flow. Properly stored, cabbage should last about a week. 
Kale- Refrigerate in a plastic bag, do not wash until ready to use. May keep for up to a week.

Thyme- Clean and dry well. Wrap in a slightly damp paper towel, and store in a plastic bag with a few holes. Keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
