storability
Capacity for keeping
Storability is the quality of being suitable for storage.
Foods with good storability keep well over time: Root vegetables have excellent storability compared to leafy greens.
The term appears in agriculture, food science, and logistics contexts, describing how long something can be kept without degrading.
