Storage Guidelines

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

Chinese chives are shorter-lived than chives and mint; keep them near freezing, very humid and away from ethylene, which causes yellowing. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
