Wondering How to Store Fresh Herbs? Look No Further! This Simple Technique Will Keep Your Herbs Hydrated and Crisp for Weeks.
Fresh herbs are so essential to my cooking that I use them every day. In fact, the very first thing I planted when we bought our home was an herb garden. And from May to November, I make the trip to my treasured herb garden several times a day. I like to pick my herbs just before I cook with them – this way, there’re as fresh and flavorful as can be. Plus I only pick what I need, so there’s no waste.
For the rest of the year, however, my garden is covered with snow! I have no choice but to buy my fresh herbs. And as you know, you always end up with more than you need!
So storing the delicate herbs properly is key. If you leave your fresh herbs in the plastic bag you got from your grocer, they’ll start rotting within a few days. Some of the hardier herbs come in small plastic boxes, and if you just throw those in your fridge, the herbs will soon dry up.
After trying different methods for preserving the freshness of my herbs, I came up with a way to keep them hydrated and crisp for days! And because the herbs are wrapped in a natural fiber (cotton), they “breathe” and therefore don’t spoil as fast as when stored in plastic. In fact, some hardier herbs will even stay fresh for several weeks.
So take a look at this short video to see how it’s done. You’ll learn just how to save those precious herbs until you’ve had a chance to use them all.
