  • Store fresh herbs upright in water

    Kitchen & Food

    Treat cut herbs like flowers, stems in water and loosely covered, to keep them fresh for up to a week.

    1. Trim stems
    2. 1 inch water
    3. Cover loosely
    4. Fridge, swap water

    Steps

    1. Trim the herb stems.
    2. Stand the herbs in a glass with about 1 inch of water.
    3. Cover loosely with a perforated plastic bag so air can circulate.
    4. Refrigerate and change the water daily.

    Why it works

    Keeping cut stems in water lets the herbs keep drinking, while the loose perforated cover allows airflow that prevents mold and rot.
