How do I store salsify?

Question: 

How do I store salsify?

Answer: 

Harvest salsify in mid- to late November as cool fall temperatures enhance the oyster-like flavor of the roots.  After harvest, trim off the foliage 1 inch above the roots and store the salsify at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 95 to 98 percent.
