Leafy greens & salad

Fridge (4°C / 40°F)

3–7 days

Freezer (−18°C / 0°F)

Only cooked/blanched, 8–12 months

Store it right

  • Wash and dry completely, then store with a dry paper towel in a loosely closed container.
  • Moisture is the enemy — wet leaves collapse into slime in a day.

Signs it has gone off

  • Dark, translucent slimy leaves.
  • Sour, swampy smell.
  • Liquid pooling at the bottom of the bag.

Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
