Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for curly endive and escarole. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep cold and very humid to prevent wilting, handle carefully to avoid mechanical damage and discoloration, and avoid ethylene, which yellows the leaves. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -0.1°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
