A Fresh Garden Right In Your Refrigerator!
I hate it when I've bought fresh herbs and
they wilted before I was able to use them. There’s nothing worse than putting
out good money for pricey herbs and they turn into a black soggy wilt of a
mess.
Here’s how to keep herbs fresh without having
to buy special refrigerator produce bags as seen on TV or particular containers
that burp when your press them but, take up too much room in your kitchen.
Fresh herbs are what make a dish pop and taste
fantastic. Here’s a simple guide on how to save fresh cut herbs. It’ no fuss
and you’re going to save money
1. Pick off any leaves around the base of the
stem leaving about an inch.
2. Using a sharp knife or scissor, cut the
ends of the stems off. Make sure that it is a strait cut and not jagged. All
the stems should be about the same length. Cutting the stems will allow the
stems to absorb water just like a cut rose.
3. Place the herbs in a good weighted cup
like a coffee mug so that it won’t tip over in the refrigerator.
4. Fill the coffee cup with only one
inch of water. Make sure that there are no leaves touching the water.
5. Put a produce bag loosely over the entire
thing and keep it in the refrigerator. The bag will keep moister and excessive
cold from effecting the leaves.
6. Occasionally check water level.
