    Selection & Storage

    • When choosing Asian greens, look for crisp stalks with bright green, glossy leaves. Flowering varieties are best when in bud, rather than full bloom.
    • Store Asian greens as you would store other greens but for best flavour, use within three days of purchase. In most cases, both the leaves and stalks can be eaten, but be sure to trim the stalks to remove any fibrous outer husk.

    Preparation

    • Cut off the base of the stalks, remove any wilted, yellowed or damaged leaves.
    • Wash under cold running water taking care to remove any dirt between the leaves and stalks, then drain.
    • Chop according to your recipe.
