Common questions

How long does swiss chard last in the fridge?

1–2 weeks from the date of purchase.

How can I tell if swiss chard has gone bad?

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
