Food Storage Tips

Ravioli

Keep ravioli frozen until you are ready to use them.

Turnips

Already topped, keep in a loosely wrapped plastic bag in the refrigerator, use within a couple of days.

Cabbage

It comes prepackaged in its own wrapper leaves. Just place whole unwashed heads in your vegetable bin. The outer leaves may yellow and wilt, but just discard them to reveal the fresh inner leaves. Once cut, wrap in a sealed plastic bag and keep in refrigerator. A whole cabbage can last for a month.

Red Russian Kale

Keep dry, unwashed greens in a sealed plastic bag in your refrigerator. Thicker greens, such as kale, can be kept for up to two weeks.

Garlic

Dried Garlic can be kept for several months in a dark, dry, well-ventilated place at a cool room temperature.

Daikon Radish

Keep unwashed radishes in a plastic bag where they will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Napa Cabbage

It comes prepackaged in its own wrapper leaves. Just place whole unwashed heads in your vegetable bin. The outer leaves may yellow and wilt, but just discard them to reveal the fresh inner leaves. Once cut, wrap in a sealed plastic bag and keep in refrigerator. A whole cabbage can last for a month. Once cut it will keep for several weeks.

Carrots

Remove tops, leaving about an inch of stems. Refrigerate dry, unwashed in a plastic bag for two weeks or more.

Canned Goods

Keep canned goods in a cool dark cabinet or cellar. Natural light will rob the product of its natural color and quality. Once opened keep refrigerated.

Always check the lid of your canned goods. In the rare event that the seal is broken, do not open it. Bring it back to Grasshoppers to make an exchange.

Pesto

When ready to eat, let thaw in your refrigerator. The top layer will look brown. That’s OK. It still tastes good. Mix well and toss with pasta, or smeared on a piece of bread, or add olive oil and use as a dressing. Cover and keep in your refrigerator.
