How to store arugula

• Store arugula in cold and moist environment, 32°-40°F (0°-5°C) and 95 percent relative humidity.
• Wrap leaves in a cloth or paper towel and place them in a perforated plastic bag in the vegetable crisper section of the refrigerator.
• Arugula will keep in the refrigerator for about 10 days, but it will be most flavorful if used before 6 days.
