Fridge at 4 °C (40 °F) or colder, freezer at −18 °C (0 °F). Freezer times are for best quality: food kept frozen stays safe, but slowly loses taste and texture. These times are USDA guidance, not a guarantee. When in doubt, throw it out.

How to tell if bok choy has gone bad

Limp, yellow or brown leaves.
Slimy leaves or soft, brown stems.
A sour or rotten smell, or mold.

How to store bok choy

Keep it unwashed, loosely wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a bag, in the crisper drawer.
Wash it just before cooking, rinsing between the stems where grit collects.
Cook it within 2 to 3 days.

Can you freeze bok choy?

Yes, for 10 to 12 months. Separate the leaves and stems, blanch them for 1 to 2 minutes, cool them in ice water, dry them and freeze them in bags. Use them straight from frozen in soups and stir-fries.
