How long are these yam leaves good for?

1. Until the leafy parts don’t stand on their own.

   If they get limp they’re edible, but not great.

   Usually a week, refrigerated.

   You can get more time by chlutting the base of the stem about an inch from the bottom and putting them in a cup of water. If you have the room for that

2. Until they look gross

3. I’d cook them as soon as you can. Yam leaves deteriorates quite quickly, even when fresh from a farmer’s market. From a grocery store, it may have been in storage for a while already. Once they start wilting, they get slimy, so an edible bunch can turn bad within 2 days.

4. Buy them and use soon. Don’t freeze.
