Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 32 °C / 90 °F).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 4 °C (40 °F); cold chain reduces mass loss.
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill quickly without condensation.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Wrap and refrigerate up to a week, or freeze stalks to extend life.
