1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):
Apricots - Store on a cool counter to room temperature or in the fridge if ripe. Eat as soon as they are ripe!
Lettuce - Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge. Keeps for one week.
Chard and Dino Kale - Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Do not wash until ready to use.
Trim the ends and place basil in a glass containing about 1 inch of water; then cover with a loose-fitting plastic bag and leave at room temp. Replace the water whenever it gets cloudy. Should keep for about a week.
Oregano - Wrap in a damp paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. Lasts one week or more. To dry, leave bound around the stems and hang.
Spring Garlic - Store in your crisper. Best used within a week but may last a little longer.
Turnips and Radishes - Cut the tops off to keep turnips and radishes (be sure to keep the greens!) by leaving any top on the root vegetables draws moisture from the root, making the lose flavor and firmness. Wash and keep in an open contained with a wet towel on top.
Fava Beans - Store favas in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. They'll last about a week.
Broccoli - Place in an open container in the fridge or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge. Lasts 1-2 weeks.
New potatoes - Store potatoes in a cool, well ventilated place. Don't wash the potatoes before storing as dampness promotes early spoilage.
