Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for kale (stored under the general greens conditions). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Kale keeps longer than most cooking greens but still needs cold, humid storage away from ethylene. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
