How to store your komatsuna

STORAGE

Wrap komatsuna in a damp paper towel and place it in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to a week.

DRYING

Komatsuna isn’t typically dried for use, but you can air-dry thinly sliced leaves for powdering as a soup additive.

 

FREEZING

Blanch komatsuna leaves for 1–2 minutes, then plunge into ice water. Drain, pat dry, and freeze in airtight containers for use in stir-fries or soups.
