Keep the parsley - How to preserve the herbs
Fresh parsley keeps cutting just a few days. Shortly after the harvest, the leaves turn yellow and the herb loses the aroma - not to mention the valuable ingredients. Use the herb as fresh as possible or preserve it.
Conserve parsley with these methods
There are several ways in which you can store parsley for a few days or preserve it for a long time.
Store fresh parsley
Clean the parsley. Fold kitchen crepe into several layers and moisten the paper. Beat in the parsley and place in a freezer bag. So you can store the herb in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days.
Many consumers place sliced parsley in a glass of water to keep it fresh. That does not help. After a short time, the herb begins to wither. The aroma remains as good as nothing.
Dry or freeze
Dried parsley almost completely loses its aroma. If you have the option, you should freeze parsley rather than dry it.
To dry, rinse the herb briefly and shake it gently. Hang the parsley in bundles in an airy but not too sunny place. The leaves are best cut in the oven or dehydrator.
To freeze, pluck the cleaned leaves from the stems, cut them down and place them in freezer bags in the freezer. There parsley keeps several months.
Put parsley in oil
Parsley, which is placed in oil, does not spoil, because the oil encloses the plant parts airtight. The herb can be preserved for many months.
Put the parsley stalks or just the leaves in a clean bottle and pour enough oil to cover the herbs.
Tips & Tricks
Parsley ice cubes can be used wonderfully as a seasoning for hearty vegetable stews. Cut some parsley leaves, place them in the ice cube tray and pour hot water over them. After cooling, place the container covered in the freezer and let the cubes freeze.
