To maintain the freshness of waterleaf, store it in the refrigerator inside a perforated plastic bag or wrapped in a damp paper towel. Avoid washing it before storage, as excess moisture can cause it to spoil faster. If you need to store it for longer periods, consider blanching and freezing it in airtight containers or freezer bags. Keep it away from ethylene-producing fruits like bananas to prevent premature wilting.
