Fresh herbs can significantly elevate the taste and aroma of your dishes, but they tend to lose their freshness quickly. To extend their life, a simple solution is to wrap the herbs in a slightly damp paper towel, then place them in a sealed container or plastic bag. This method helps maintain moisture and prevents them from drying out.

Another effective option is to store herbs in water. Trim the stems and stand the herbs in a glass of water, just like you would with flowers. Cover them with a plastic bag and keep them in the refrigerator. This technique can help preserve their freshness for several days. You might also consider using special containers with a built-in water compartment designed to keep herbs fresh for longer.

For the best results, follow proper storage techniques by keeping herbs in the fridge and away from heat, which can cause them to wilt faster. Regularly check on the herbs and remove any leaves that have started to spoil, as this can help maintain the quality of the rest.
