Fresh herbs can add a burst of flavor and aroma to your dishes, but they often lose their vibrancy quickly. A simple trick to keep them fresh longer is to wrap the herbs in a damp paper towel and store them in a sealed container or plastic bag. This helps retain moisture and prevents them from wilting too fast.

Another great method is to place the herbs in water. Trim the stems and place the herbs upright in a glass of water, similar to how you would with flowers. Cover the herbs loosely with a plastic bag and store them in the fridge. This can help maintain their freshness for several days. You could also invest in specialized containers with built-in water reservoirs designed to prolong the life of herbs.

To get the most out of your herbs, keep them cool in the refrigerator and avoid exposing them to heat, which speeds up wilting. Regularly inspect your herbs and remove any damaged leaves to keep the rest in good condition.
