This Week's Box: February 18, 2026

Pomelos- Pomelos are the largest citrus fruit. Pomelos can be stored at room temperature for a couple of weeks or refrigerated for up to several weeks. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.

Tangelo- A tangelo is identifiable by its knob-like formation on its stem end and their deep orange color. It will keep a few days at room temperature but, for longer storage, the fruits should be refrigerated. We hope you enjoy their delicious tart-sweet flavor.

Mandarins- They will keep a day or two at room temperature and up to a week in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. 

Pea Greens- You can refrigerate them for up to 5 days. Wrap in a paper towel and then seal inside a plastic bag. 

Broccoli Raab- Place in a breathable container or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge. Lasts 1-2 weeks. 

OR

Dino Kale- Refrigerate in a plastic bag, do not wash until ready to use. May keep for up to a week.

Purple Mustard- Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge.

Spinach- Store in the bag, unwashed, in the crisper. Take out what you plan on using and wash as you go. Will last 3-5 days.

Turnips- Remove the greens (store separately) same as radishes and beets, store them in an
open container with a moist cloth.

Butternut Squash- Store in a cool, dark, well ventilated place. Many growers say winter squash gets sweeter if they're stored for a week or so before eaten. Will last several weeks.
