Storage Guidelines

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

Cool promptly and hold near freezing, because inner petioles keep growing and pithiness develops at warmer temperatures; when warm, high ethylene levels accelerate yellowing and pithiness. Highest freezing point: -0.5°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
