Microgreens are delicate, so the way you store them makes a real difference. Keep them cold, dry and lightly covered.
Refrigerate them as soon as they arrive. A shelf away from the coldest back wall of the fridge works well, since freezing air can damage the leaves.
Keep them in their original container or a lidded box lined with a dry paper towel to absorb extra moisture. Avoid packing them tightly.
Wash only what you plan to eat, just before using. Pat dry gently so the leaves do not turn limp.
Freshness varies by variety, so check the label on your pack and use them within the window it suggests. If they smell off or turn slimy, do not eat them.
