00:00Here's how you should store your herbs. They don't turn into a bunch of mush. If you keep your herbs
00:03in clamshells like this, I can guarantee you they're going to go bad fast. They don't aerate,
00:08they're too small, and also there's no insulation. The next thing that's only going to give you nasty
00:13herbs is just keeping them in the bag that you bought them in and also leaving on any of these.
00:18The right way to do this. I'm going to take these off, do a quick inspection and make sure there's
00:22nothing totally slimy already in here. Take some paper towels, drop these in here. We're just going
00:27to roll it up. Doesn't have to be too tight and get a Ziploc. Zip this up and find a
00:31place that's
00:32not going to be too cold inside of your fridge. Another method for storing your herbs that I like,
00:36and especially for things like mint that really don't like to be too cold in your fridge, after
00:40trimming off the bottoms and revealing a nice fresh cut, simply storing them in some water on your
00:45countertop. Especially if you change your water every now and then, this can last at least a week
00:49or two and give you fresh herbs the whole time. If your herbs have gone limp, here's a quick way
00:53to
00:53bring them back to life. The salad spinner is one of my favorite methods to do this. Let's fill this
00:58up with some very cold water, with ice or without, and we're going to let the herbs soak in here
01:02until
01:02they look like they've come back to life. This could be five minutes, could be 30 minutes. So make sure
01:06you're planning ahead. And if you're concerned about waste using a method like this, just remember you
01:10can reuse your bag over and over again, and you can put more than one bunch of herbs into a
01:15Ziploc and
01:16it's going to keep your herbs, if you spend all that money on, lasting much longer.
