Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for Chinese cabbage (napa/wong bok and michihli types; HB66 gives one set of conditions). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Hold as close to freezing as possible without freezing, use perforated plastic bags to cut water loss, and avoid ethylene; some cultivars develop brown midrib, a chilling disorder, during prolonged cold storage. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
