Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh bulb (edible) fennel. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Fennel is highly sensitive to physical injury, which causes rapid browning, so handle and pack it carefully, keep it refrigerated and mist it periodically. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
