Quality We will pre cool the crop in the hydro cooler and then after being washed and packed in a carton or RPC box it is topped with crushed ice. This helps achieve the optimum temperature for extending the postharvest life. Leeks will be trimmed so that only at 30.5 cm (12 in) portion of the green top remains. They can, DEPENDING ON DIAMETER be bunched in groups of three and Placed in polyethylene film bags to Prevent moisture loss and if the clients requires it. Temperature Leeks can be stored for 2 to 3 mo at 0 ° C (32 ° F) with 95 to 100% RH. High RH is essential to prevent wilting. Good refrigeration retards elongation and curvature that develops in leeks at 10 to 21 ° C (50 to 70 ° F). Leeks held in polyethylene lined crates remain sellable for 5 to 6 weeks at 0 ° C (32 ° F) under crushed ice, 4 weeks at 0 ° C.
Maturity indices We harvest our asparagus when they reach a 9 inch length and pack them in different sizes in a pyramid box with a soaked pad on the bottom to maintain humidity, this boxes will be hydrocooled and storage in our cooler until they are load and shipped. Quality Fresh asparagus will be dark green and firm with tightly closed, compact tips. Stalks are straight, tender and glossy in appearance. Temperature (0 - 2C (32-35.6F) Storage life is typically 14-21 days at 2 C and can be extended up to 31 days by 7-10 days storage at 0C and atmospheric modification. Extended storage (~ 10-12 days) in air at 0 C may cause chilling injury.

Temperature Beets held at 0-C (32-F) and 98 to 100% relative humidity will remain fresh and flavorful for up to 4 weeks. Package-icing and perforated polyethylene film liners are used to maintain quality. Storage life of Beets at 10°C (50°F) is 7 to 10 days.
According to the requirement of our costumer we will harvest 24s, 30s, 36s or hearts trimming the celery with the stainless steel equipment and packing it and washing it on the field and then transfer to the packing shed where it will be cooled at the vacuum cooler and stored in our cooling room is loaded Until it and shipped. Quality Our celery consists of well-formed, well-developed and clean stalks with a medium to dark green color and are fresh crisp and free from dehydration. We leave out any celery That presents blackheart, brown stem, soft rot, double and any freeze damage, crack growth, horizontal cracks, pithy branches, seedstems, Suckers, wilting, blight, other disease, insects or mechanical damage. Temperature At optimum conditions, celery should have a good quality after storage for 5 to 7 weeks, to achieve this we pre-cool it in our vacuum cooler, the storage in our cool room at 0-2C and maintain at that temperature until our clients receive it .
Green beans are harvested when they are growing rapidly and developing. This will occur about 8-10 days after flowering for mature green beans.

Storage at -1 ° C (31.1 ° F) may cause freezing, while storage at 1 ° C (33.8 ° F) may promote senescence-related storage losses, especially if held in long-term storage.
