...yes, it's true...and those same fresh herbs do it all without adding calories or fat. But how to store them so you don't waste what you just purchased or picked.
The FRESH HERB STORAGE JAR to the rescue! Silvermark's innovative Fresh Herb Storage Jar is a practical (and attractive) solution that will help you preserve the freshness AND longevity of your herbs.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I take the time to buy a bunch of fresh herbs I want them to last so I can get multiple uses out of them. I want my storage solution to be compact and easy to use...and this definitely fits both those criteria.
Easy to use...you fill the porcelain base with enough water to cover herb stems. Be sure to remove any dead or discolored herb leaves and trim the bottom of the herbs (just like flowers) prior to storage. Place herbs in the jar with the stems immersed.
For some herbs that don't like the cold (basil and cilantro), you can keep the jar on the counter with the lid removed. For huskier herbs with shorter stems, you can unscrew the herb jar in the middle for easier access and handling.
Large enough to store bundles of freshly cut herbs, but compact enough to fit in my refrigerator door, this helps me prolong the life of most fresh herbs for up to three weeks!
As always, shop locally to see if your favorite shop carries any of these products.
