Fresh herbs are aromatic leaves used to add flavor, fragrance, and visual appeal to dishes. They are known for their vibrant, bright green color and delicate texture. Unlike dried herbs, fresh herbs offer a more pronounced and nuanced flavor profile. Common examples include basil, parsley, cilantro, mint, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Using fresh herbs in cooking enhances the overall sensory experience, bringing a burst of freshness to any meal.

Fresh herbs are best stored in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness. For leafy herbs like parsley or cilantro, trim the stems and place them in a glass of water, covering the leaves loosely with a plastic bag. Change the water every couple of days. For herbs like rosemary or thyme, wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Some herbs, like basil, are best kept at room temperature in a glass of water. Avoid storing herbs near ethylene-producing fruits to prevent spoilage. For long-term storage, consider freezing herbs by chopping them and placing them in ice cube trays with water or oil.
