Need to make your herbs and spices remaining fresh for longer? Here are some fast
tips to carry out.
Quick Tips:
1. Rinse herbs and dry them well before chopping. This helps prevent them from sticking together, so they can be dispersed throughout the recipe.
2. To snip fresh herbs, snip with kitchen shears.
3. Handle fresh cilantro or parsley, like a bouquet of flowers. Cut off the ends and stand up in a container of freshwater. Store in refrigerator covered loosely. Change water every other day and they’ll last up to two weeks.
4. Basil is handled differently. Cut off stems and soak basil in water for a few minutes. Wrap in a damp towel. Place in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.
