Storage
Celery heart should be stored at 32°F – 41°F (0°C – 5°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five percent and no mist.
The typical shelf life is twelve to fourteen days. High temperature and low humidity lead to wilting.
Celery heart is sensitive to odor and should not be stored with strong aroma products. Especially, apple and onion. Celery heart is an odor producer.
Celery heart is sensitive to high levels of ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening, at a higher temperature. Symptoms include yellowing and pithiness. If the temperature is low and the ethylene level is low, there will be less of an effect on the celery heart. Celery heart produces a very low level of ethylene.
The celery heart is not sensitive to chilling injury and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing. The freezing point for celery hearts is 31.1°F (-0.5°C).
