👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Guide

Prep the Herbs
Remove any wilted or yellowing leaves. Give the herbs a gentle rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Trim the Stems
Cut about half an inch off the bottom of the stems — just like you would with a bouquet of flowers.
Set in Water
Fill a glass or jar with about an inch of cold water. Place the herbs upright, stems down, in the water.
Cover & Store
Loosely cover the herbs with a plastic bag to protect them without suffocating. Place the jar in the fridge.
Refresh as Needed
Change the water every 2–3 days to keep it fresh and clean.

🌿 Which Herbs Work Best?

✅ Parsley
✅ Cilantro
✅ Mint
✅ Dill
✅ Basil (store at room temperature, not in the fridge, but use the same water trick)

Don’t overcrowd the jar — give herbs room to breathe.
For delicate herbs like chives or thyme, wrap them in a damp paper towel and store them in a resealable bag instead.
Always wash herbs right before using them, not before storage, to prevent moisture damage.
