Storage Guidelines

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

Store as cold as possible without freezing and keep away from ethylene, which causes leaf yellowing and abscission; storage life falls sharply as temperature rises. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -0.8°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
