Fresh herbs can elevate any dish with their vibrant flavor and aroma, but keeping them from wilting too quickly is a common challenge. Fortunately, with the right storage techniques, you can extend their freshness and reduce waste. Here are two simple and effective methods to keep your herbs fresh longer in the refrigerator.
– Trim the stems slightly.
– Place the herbs upright in a glass or jar with a bit of water (like a bouquet).
– Loosely cover the herbs with a plastic bag.
– Store in the fridge.
– Freshness lasts about 1 week or even longer.
– Rinse and gently dry the herbs.
– Wrap them in slightly damp paper towels.
– Place them in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge.
– They stay fresh for 5 to 7 days without wilting.
