Basil
It is recommended to store basil in a cup of water on the table. In the refrigerator, it will absorb the odors of other foods. If you want to keep basil for a long period of time, you should cut it and place it in a bag in the freezer.
Proper storage of basil helps maintain its fresh aroma and flavor. By keeping it in a cup of water on the table, you ensure it stays vibrant and ready to use. For longer storage, freezing the cut basil in a sealed bag preserves its essential oils and taste, making it a convenient option for future use.
