I'm talking about those super leafy veggies that you find at the Asian grocery stores. Gai Lan, Bok Choy, etc.
In the grocery store they're just bundled up and put together on shelves. A lot of them don't even seem to have much refrigeration. Sometimes there're stored in individual little plastic baggies.
When I talk them home and put them on the shelf, they get yellow after only a couple of days and sometimes rot starts to develop as well at the stem, especially the ones that came in little plastic baggies.
Am I supposed to find a super aerated bag, maybe even a mesh bag, and store them in there with plenty of space to breathe? I don't think refrigeration is really necessary because the Asian stores around here don't have refrigerated shelves and the veggies seem to be OK? I also don't really have much space in the fridge to store anything other than meats and dairy since it's a communal kitchen
