Fresh herbs can lose their flavor quickly if not stored properly.
Soft herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil stay fresh longer in a glass of water, like cut flowers.
For woody herbs such as rosemary and thyme, wrap them in a damp paper towel and store in the fridge.
Avoid washing herbs until just before use to prevent excess moisture and spoilage.
Freeze chopped herbs in ice cube trays with olive oil for long-term storage.
Dried herbs should be kept in airtight containers away from heat and light.
Label and date stored herbs to track freshness.
With these simple hacks, you can enjoy maximum flavor from your herbs for weeks or even months.
