You have two options to keep your fresh cut herbs fresh:

1) Store on the counter in a glass of water like a cut flower with the stem in the water

2) Rinse the herbs and lay them on a paper towel. Wrap loosely in a paper towel and place in zip lock bag. Then store in your refrigerator’s crisper.

Either method is fine if you’re planning on using them within a week or so. If you’re not planning on using them that soon, freezing works better than drying them as it will preserve more of the flavor and nutrients.

To freeze fresh herbs, rinse them and then dry them thoroughly (anytime you freeze something wet, you’re asking for freezer-burn). Spread the individual leaves on a small tray or cookie sheet. Freezing the leaves flat and individually will prevent them from freezing together into a brick. Cover and place the tray of leaves into the freezer.

Once they’re frozen, place them in an airtight container or freezer-bag and return them to the freezer (the less air in the bag or container, the better). Use them within a year and you’ll still preserve most of their yummy goodness.

As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.
