Fresh holy basil is best stored in the refrigerator. Wrap the stems in a damp paper towel and place the bunch in a plastic bag or container. This helps maintain moisture and prevents wilting. Dried holy basil should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade its flavor and potency. Properly stored dried holy basil can last for up to a year.
