    Keep Herbs Fresh Longer




    I don't know how well this works but it seems to work good for me!

    Put your herbs in a cup with some water and use the grocery bag to cover the top, store in the fridge. I use cilantro a lot but it gets slimey quick if I just leave it in the bag.

    Note do not tuck into the back of your fridge as you may find it frozen! Also, be careful not to spill it.

    Ooh I need to try that. I have heard of that with asparagus and celery etc too but they r tall and not so easy to store upright in my fridge the way I have it all organized.

    For my kids, when they were young, we'd put celery in blue or red colored water, just for the party colors it would soak up... LOL!
    Guess I should have figured out this trick... But never did.
