How long can corm vegetables - celeriac (celery root), turnips, and swedes (rutabagas) - be kept in a refrigerator? And should they be wrapped? I usually buy them wrapped in sealed plastic. If aiming to store them for as long as possible, should I leave it on, replace it with cloth or greaseproof paper, or perhaps store the vegetables unwrapped?

  • As they're root vegetables, I assume your would treat them like carrots : cooking.stackexchange.com/q/15517/67 . cooking.stackexchange.com/q/46168/67

  • They're almost but not quite root vegetables. I find they can easily outlast carrots and parsnips in the fridge.

  • You use the term corned. That term has a very specific culinary meaning. It means pickling and the addition of pickling spice. Without the spice it is just pickling. Do you mean pickling by any chance?

how long is long ?

They are fine for couple of weeks if stored in a cool place with good amount of humidity.

"These are dependent on ideal storage conditions of 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 95-percent humidity."

  • "How long is long?" I have changed "If aiming to store them for a long time" to "If aiming to store them for as long as possible".
