Herbs are aromatic plants, or parts thereof, used to flavor food, beverages, and for medicinal purposes. These culinary treasures boast diverse flavor profiles, ranging from the bright, citrusy notes of lemon balm and the peppery zest of basil, to the earthy undertones of thyme and the refreshing coolness of mint. Their textures vary from the delicate, leafy softness of parsley to the slightly tougher, more robust leaves of rosemary. Fresh herbs offer vibrant green hues, while dried herbs are often more muted in color.

The best way to store herbs depends on the type. Soft herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil should be stored like cut flowers: trim the stems and place them in a glass of water, then loosely cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate. Hardier herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano can be stored dry in the refrigerator, wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. Alternatively, you can dry herbs by hanging them upside down in a cool, dark, and dry place. Dried herbs should be stored in airtight containers away from light and heat.
