1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):
Spinach - Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold.
Arugula - Wash and dry well. Wrap with a damp paper towel and store in a glass container in the fridge. Lasts up to 5 days.
Fennel - If used within a couple days after it's bought, 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.
Red Kale - 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.
Cauliflower - Will last a while in a closed container in the fridge but some say cauliflower has the best flavor the day it's brought home.
Romanesco - Will last up to one week in a closed conatiner in the fridge, but has better flavor is consumed earlier
Gypsy or Bell Peppers - Only wash them right before you plan on eating them as wetness decreases storage time. Store in a cool room to use in a couple of days, place in the crisper if longer storage is needed. Keeps 1-2 weeks.
Leeks - These large alliums are rather mild in flavor and simply melt to perfection when sautéed. Use in soups, stir-fries, or in place of onions in other dishes for a delicious and more subtle flavor. Save the dark green tops for making vegetable stock! Leave in an open container in the crisper wrapped in a damp cloth or in a shallow cup of water on the counter (just so the very bottom of the stem has water).
Radishes - Remove the greens (store separately) so they don't draw out excess moisture from the roots. Place them in an open container in the fridge with a wet towel placed on top. Lasts up to one week.
Broccoli - Place in an open container in the fridge or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge. Lasts 1-2 weeks.
Raisins - Store in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
Butternut Squash - Store in a cool, dark, well ventilated place. Many growers say winter squash get sweeter if they're stored for a week or so before eaten.
Fuyu Persimmon - Store at room temperature
