Storage Notes: Keep broccoli as cold as possible without freezing at very high humidity and away from ethylene, which yellows the florets; wilting, bud yellowing, bud opening and decay end its storage life. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
