Mint

Mint is so essential to keep on hand, whether you are making cocktails, a Middle Eastern salad, or anything in between. Mint will stay freshest wrapped loosely in a damp paper towel and stored in a resealable bag that has not been shut all the way.

Dill

Dill is great for soups, salads, and even snacks like popcorn! Make it stretch further by wrapping it in a damp paper towel and in a resealable bag.

Basil

Basil is one of the trickest herbs to get right when it comes to storage. But, to get it to last one or even two weeks is super easy. Just cut off a little bit of the stems, put it into a jar of water, and cover it with a plastic bag. Keep it out of direct sunlight and you’ll be good!
