Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for chervil, coriander (cilantro, Chinese parsley), dill and savory. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Herbs are highly susceptible to ethylene, which causes yellowing and leaf drop, and need high humidity to prevent water loss. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
