NAPA

Selection

• Napa should have a tightly formed head.
• Leaves have a uniform green color with no signs of wilting or discoloration. As the napa ages, the green color fades to pale yellow.
• The stalk is crisp and white without any black spots.

Storage

• Napa should be stored at 32ºF (0ºC) with a relative humidity of ninety-eight percent and with mist.
• The typical shelf life is three to six months. Shelf life is extended by placing the heads upside down during storage. High humidity is important to avoid wilting.
• Napa is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Napa should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid leaf yellowing and separation of leaves. Napa produces very little ethylene. 
• Napa is sensitive to chilling injury after prolonged storage of five months at 32ºF (0ºC). Symptom includes brown midribs development. Napa is susceptible to freezing injury at 31ºF (-0.5ºC) and below. Freezing injury symptoms include water-soaked areas and soft spots.
