π‘ Storage & Handling Tips:
To maintain the vibrant flavor and freshness of your basil leaves:
- Do Not Refrigerate Immediately (Best Method): Place the stems in a glass of water, much like a bouquet of flowers, and leave it on your countertop. Loosely cover the leaves with a plastic bag to retain moisture. Change the water daily.
- Refrigeration (Short-Term): If you must refrigerate, gently wrap the basil leaves in a slightly damp paper towel, then place them in an airtight container or a sealed plastic bag. Avoid extreme cold, which can cause blackening. Use within a few days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, chop the basil and mix it with a little olive oil, then freeze in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to an airtight freezer bag.
