1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):

Rainbow 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.

Shady Lady and Roma Tomatoes - Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay for up to two weeks on the counter. To hasten ripeness, place in a paper bag with an apple.

Napa Cabbage - Left out on a cool counter is fine up to a week, in the crisper otherwise. Peel off
outer leaves if they start to wilt. Cabbage might begin to loose its moisture after a
week , so, best used as soon as possible.

Summer Squash or Parsley - Summer squash does fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut. Wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for longer storage. Do not wash until ready to eat. Lasts 4-5 days. Parsley can be placed in a glass with about an inch of water and stored in the fridge. Keeps for about a week.

Tokyo White Turnips - Remove the greens (store separately) same as radishes and beets, store them in an open container with a moist cloth.

Lunch Box 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. Lasts up to one week.

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

Red Kuri Squash - Store in a cool, dark, well ventilated place. Many growers say winter
squashes get sweeter if they’re stored for a week or so before eaten.

Oregano - Take off the wire band and stand upright in a glass of water in the fridge. Keeps for about one week (sometimes more).

Red Burger Onions - Store in a cool dry place out of the light. Lasts 2-3 months.
