Recomendaciones de conservación

Commercial storage guidance for fresh watercress bunches. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Watercress dehydrates and its leaves crush easily, and shelf-life drops sharply at low humidity, so keep RH high and cool it promptly to prevent slimy soft rot. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
