How To Keep Basil Fresh - Method 1
We all use some or the other herbs in our food but the main challenge is to keep them fresh for a longer time. Every herb has a different characteristics and thus they need specific approaches to keep them fresh at home.
Apart form Indian hers like coriander, the other kind of herbs we keep using frequently are the Italian herbs - basil, parsley, rosemary etc. With the pandemic still in in full swing, we are now making more meals at home than ordering a takeaway to eat better and fresh foods.
Although certain herbs like parsley and cilantro, can be refrigerated easily to keep them fresh, Basil does not do good in the refrigerator. It will turn moldy and black when kept in fridge. Basil needs warmer, humid conditions to thrive better.
I am going to talk about a method here which will help keep the basil fresh and perky for a few days after you bring it home form the store.
Like everyone keeps saying, treat the basil leaves like a bunch of fresh cut flowers, delicately. So that's what you need to do in this first method. Treat them like flowers
- Fresh Basil Leaves with stem
