Fresh herbs are an easy way to make home cooking more flavorful. They add aroma and color, and they help you season food with less salt.
Herbs worth keeping on hand
- Basil for tomatoes, pasta and salads.
- Parsley for soups, grains and fish.
- Rosemary and thyme for roasted vegetables.
- Mint and cilantro for fresh, zesty dishes.
Add delicate herbs at the end of cooking and hardy herbs early on.
Keep them fresh
Store soft herbs like a bouquet in a glass of water, and wrap hardy herbs in a damp towel in the fridge.
Grow your own
A small pot on a sunny windowsill gives you fresh herbs whenever you need them.
