Revive fresh herbs 'last legs' and give them a new lease of life
Fresh herbs can wilt or go off relatively quickly, but you don't need to throw them away
Preserve Your Herbs' Flavor: A Simple Microwave Drying Method Delish, a popular food media brand, recently shared a quick and easy method for drying herbs using a microwave. The technique, demonstrated in a short video, involves placing fresh herbs between paper towels on a microwave-safe plate and microwaving in short bursts until they are dry and crumbly. This method, according to the video's presenter, preserves both the color and flavor of the herbs significantly better than traditional air-drying methods. "The best part about microwaving your herbs is that it preserves the flavor and the color better than any other drying method," the presenter explains in the video. The video then shows the herbs being ground and stored in a small container. This simple technique offers a convenient alternative for home cooks who want to preserve their herbs and easily incorporate them into future dishes. The method's efficiency and effectiveness make it a valuable tip for anyone looking to reduce food waste and maximize the use of fresh herbs.
