I don't recall the earliest I've ever BOUGHT parsley, but I do remember forgetting there was some in a box and finding it three days later and thinking "if I sprayed a little water on that it would still look fresh!" I was surprised at how green it still was, even though it had dried out and was stiff as a board!

We have no problems with parsley bought on Wednesday for a comp. However, RD didn't have any curly parsley today, so I bought a case of green leaf lettuce. We'll see how that works out.

If you keep it nice and moist and in a cold environment, it can be good for a few weeks if it is fresh. Green bags can help as well, if you need to keep it over a long period.

Most of the time when I purchase parsley from RD, it is in pretty good shape. The last batch I purchased, it sat in the bottom shelf of our dedicated full size frig for 3 weeks and it was still in very good condition for our last comp.
Keep it in water and cold. wallace

At the risk of a hijack...has anyone tried cutting the tops off the stems like you would to build a box, and storing just the tops? We want to do this on Thursday night before a comp, then we would just dump the tops in the box and straighten the tops up a bit.

I found the perfect parsley on vacation and bought it for a test. Day one I cut the stem ends off and soaked it.... It lasted ALL week, so I decide to bring it home, cut the stems again and into a cooler. After a 12 hour drive all good so in a fridge. 5 days later still good. Cut the stems again and so on it lasted 3 weeks and I decided to pitch it. By all means it was good but mayby not comp good but better than I HAD to use before.

My 'Parsley Goddess' usually buys at the beginning of the week and does boxes on Thursday. Cleans and cuts the stems when she gets it home, store in water in the fridge covered with a bag, then put a wet paper towel over it once it is in the box.

Once you get to the comp, how do you transfer to the official box?
