Recomendaciones de conservación

Commercial storage guidance for Belgian endive / witloof chicory heads (chicons). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep chicons cold, humid and in the dark to prevent greening and wilting, do not wet them, and keep them away from ethylene, which causes russet spotting. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -0.5°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
