Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for rocket salad (arugula, roquette, rucola, rugula). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Delicate leaves wilt and lose water quickly and are easily bruised, and ethylene exposure yellows them, so keep them cold, humid and away from ethylene. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
