If you follow three proven methods, you will be able to enjoy the taste and aroma of fresh herbs, as if they were just from the garden.

A large number

Greens require special care, and after purchasing them, do not rush to put them in the refrigerator immediately.

First, remove the spoiled leaves and cut the stems by 1-2 centimeters.

After this, fill a glass jar with water and place the greens in it, like flowers in a vase.

Cover with a bag, secure it at the bottom with a rubber band and put it in the refrigerator.

A small amount

If there is not much greenery, rinse it under water, dry it a little and wrap it in a paper towel.

It is important that the greens do not drown in their own moisture, otherwise rotting cannot be avoided.

The right temperature

It is important to know where to store greens in the refrigerator.

Bunches of healthy greens are never placed on the coldest shelf. Greens do not like low temperatures and will quickly wither.
