Here are some tips to help you
learn how to buy and store
your herbs.
Make sure the leaves are
not wilted or yellowing.
They should be bright or
deep green.
Wash, get rid of excess
water, then place in a
plastic bag and refrigerate
for proper storage.
Freshly cut herbs are
highly perishable and
should be used
accordingly. To preserve
them longer, chop and
place them in a container
with ice and water.
