Freezing sounds good...

I am not sure how long they will keep fresh, I have always kept mine frozen. If you have extra, I would freeze them. Make sure they are dry and put them in a ziploc freezer bag.

We know you bought them over a week ago, so they must have been pretty fresh then. Time's running

out. Do you have them wrapped in slightly moist paper towel?

Good to know that they freeze well.

When I buy them, I freeze them . They darken but don't seem to lose that aroma/flavor. (nt)

Marg, I just make sure they are washed and completely dry. Then put them in a ziploc freezer bag.

No need to defrost before using.

I thank you. I"m going to try this. It always seems like such a long drive to Chinatown.
