Every enthusiast of good cuisine knows that herbs are an indispensable addition to many dishes. Besides, it is not known today that they are a remedy for numerous ailments. Herbs help with, among other things, tangled nerves (lemon balm, valerian), support weight loss (horsetail), and strengthen immunity (cleansing). It is not surprising that we are so eager to reach for them.
However, we must not forget that herbs should be used wisely and in moderation. It is best to consult your doctor about taking each herbal preparation or visit a proven herbal store. Besides, the way of their storage is very important – thanks to this the “treasures of nature” do not lose their valuable properties. Here are some helpful tips.
How is dried herbs stored?
Dried herbs should, above all, be protected from moisture, so as not to faint. Therefore, airtight and dry containers, dark glass jars and fabric pouches are perfect. However, let’s give up plastic bags, pouches or metal cans.
How is fresh herbs stored?
We advise you to wash them in cold water after purchase. Then wrap them in a thicker paper towel. We choose those that will not soften anymore when wrapped up and will not develop. Importantly, the towel should be moistened with water beforehand. The herbs rolled up in this way are placed in an ordinary foil bag. We store them in the refrigerator on the lowest shelf. Thanks to this method, herbs keep fresh for up to several weeks.
Gadgets that make life easier
We must also not forget that in recent years brands have been lagging behind in creating newer and newer products that are to make our lives easier and help us save time.
