Fresh fiddleheads should be stored with care to keep them fresh and intact. Loosely wrap unwashed fiddleheads in a paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. While fiddleheads can stay in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, it's best to eat them within a few days for maximum freshness and quality. You can also blanch and freeze fresh fiddleheads if you want to enjoy them later in the season. Frozen fiddleheads keep for up to one year.
Artichoke Storage. Fresh artichokes may be stored unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to one week. However, since you don't know how long they've already been on your grocer's shelves, it's best to use fresh artichokes on the day of purchase. Cooked leftovers can be refrigerated up to four days.rtichoke hearts are also available canned and frozen for time-challenged cooks. Artichokes must be cooked before freezing. If you freeze them raw, they will turn brown as well as suffer in taste and texture.
