Fresh herbs can completely change and elevate a dish. However, they can be pretty tricky to store and keep fresh for a long time. Keep on reading for a quick guide that’ll help you keep your herbs fresh!
Basil
Basil is a difficult herb because it dies quickly and is very fragile. The best way to keep it alive as long as possible is to cut off a little off the stems, put it into a jar of water, and put a plastic bag over the entire thing to create almost like a greenhouse. Change the water when it turns cloudy and keep it out of direct sunlight and it should stay for 1-2 weeks!
Dill
Dill is an amazing herb to have on hand, but you’re usually not using a lot unless you’re maybe making pickles. To keep it fresh longer, wrap it in a damp paper towel, put it into a plastic bag, and store it in the fridge.
Mint
Mint is perfect both sweet and savory dishes, and it’s such a refreshing addition to any drink. Mint keeps better when loosely wrapped in a paper towel and kept in a resealable bag that isn’t sealed all the way shut.
