How to Store Fresh Herbs
I’m here in the kitchen and today I’m going to teach you how to store some herbs.
Now we have fresh cilantro and fresh parsley here, and there’s two different ways to
store them in the refrigerator if you’re not going to use them immediately. The first
one is to put it in a cup or vase if you have one with a little bit of water. To do this,
we’re going to chop off the end of the stems so that the parsley can absorb the water better.
So, we’re just going to put it in the water and put it on the top shelf of the refrigerator.
Keep it away from the back so it doesn’t freeze. The next way to store herbs is to
use a wet paper towel. We’re going to do the same thing by chopping off the ends of
the cilantro here. You take the wet paper towel and wrap it around the stems of the
cilantro and then we’re going to put it in a zip top bag so that the air can’t get
to it, and the wet paper towel is going to keep it nice and moist. So we’re just going
to stick it right in here and seal the top of the bag closed. The best place to store
the herbs if they are in a bag like this is in the produce drawer in the refrigerator.
