How to properly store your herbs
Gently wash, pat dry, then refrigerate soft herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint in a jar with a few inches of water, tops covered with something non-breathable.
Wash, then wrap woody herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano loosely in a damp cloth and seal in an airtight container in the fridge.
Freeze: Finely chop or blend, distribute into ice trays, then cover with water or olive oil, once cubes are frozen transfer to an airtight container.
