This method is perfect for all your favorite herbs, from delicate basil and cilantro to sturdier rosemary and thyme. So grab your leafy greens and get ready to unlock the secret to long-lasting freshness!
Ingredients:
- Fresh herbs of your choice (basil, parsley, cilantro, mint, etc.)
- Clean kitchen towels (preferably paper towels)
- Spray bottle filled with clean water
Instructions:
-
Prep Your Herbs: Gently rinse your herbs under cool running water. Remove any yellowed or damaged leaves. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Excess moisture is the enemy of fresh herbs!
-
Wrap it Up: Spread a clean, dry paper towel on a flat surface. Lay your herbs in a single layer, making sure they’re not crowded.
-
The “Water Hack”: Here’s the magic! Lightly mist the paper towel with a few sprays of clean water. We want the paper towel to be damp, not soaked.
-
Roll and Secure: Carefully roll up the paper towel with the herbs nestled inside. Tuck the ends of the roll to secure the herbs.
-
Fridge Time! Place the rolled-up towel with your herbs inside the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This drawer is designed for high humidity, which is perfect for keeping leafy greens fresh.
Bonus Tip: For even longer-lasting freshness, consider placing a second damp paper towel on top of the rolled-up bundle before storing it in the fridge.
Enjoy Fresh Herbs for Weeks!
