Store them in a loose plastic bag in a kitchen cupboard or trim the stems and keep them in a jar of cool water on a window sill.<\/p>\n<p>Soft, leafy fresh herbs like <b>coriander, dill, parsley and chives<\/b> need to be chilled. Store in a loose plastic bag in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Woody fresh herbs like <b>oregano, rosemary, dill, sage, thyme<\/b> do best when slightly moist. Wrap in a damp (not soggy) piece of kitchen roll and store in a loose plastic bag in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Top tip: Don\u2019t wash your herbs until you\u2019re ready to use them. This will keep them fresh much longer<\/p>\n<h2><b>Can you freeze fresh herbs?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12657 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Herbs-in-butter.jpg\" alt=\"Gousto frozen herbs\" width=\"5922\" height=\"3948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Herbs-in-butter.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Herbs-in-butter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Herbs-in-butter-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Herbs-in-butter-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/>Yes! Sturdier herbs like <b>basil, chives, oregano and rosemary<\/b> can be frozen whole. Just chop them up, arrange them in a single layer on a baking tray and pop them in the freezer. Once frozen, gather them up and keep them in a freezer bag to save on space. They\u2019ll be ready to use and full of flavour when you need them. Herbs frozen in this way will last six months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>Top tip: Although frozen herbs taste fresh when cooked, they won\u2019t look as pretty after being frozen so they work best in dishes where presentation isn\u2019t an issue. For example, frozen basil works a treat in pasta sauces but frozen mint is not recommended in salads. Always use fresh for those fancy garnishes.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite way to store fresh herbs (and the most long-lasting way) is to freeze them into ice cube trays with a little cooking oil or melted butter. To do this simply chop up your fresh herbs (including the stalks for soft herbs and discarding the stalks for woody herbs), add two tablespoons of chopped herbs to each cube of an ice cube tray, fill the cube with cooking oil or melted butter and freeze. Then, when it comes to cooking, you can add the cubes directly to the pan!<\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s the best way to store garlic &amp; ginger?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12664 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2083_Squash-lasagne_Tension-shots-_1282-1.jpg\" alt=\"Gousto garlic\" width=\"6720\" height=\"4480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2083_Squash-lasagne_Tension-shots-_1282-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2083_Squash-lasagne_Tension-shots-_1282-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2083_Squash-lasagne_Tension-shots-_1282-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2083_Squash-lasagne_Tension-shots-_1282-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/>Store whole heads of garlic in a cool, dark place like a kitchen cupboard. If they start sprouting, don\u2019t worry, you can still use them!<\/p>\n<p>Whole, unpeeled ginger root will last longest stored in a resealable plastic bag, with as little air as possible, in a drawer in the fridge. Make sure you blot any cut off parts with kitchen roll beforehand.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s the best way to store onions? <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Store whole onions in a cool, dark place like a kitchen cupboard, away from potatoes (they give off a gas that ripens onions).<\/p>\n<h2><b>How about spring onions?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to store spring onions depending on whether you want them to keep growing or not. If you do, put them in a jar with an inch of water covering the roots, then keep the jar on a windowsill. If you don\u2019t want them to grow, wrap the roots in damp kitchen roll, pop it in a little plastic bag and keep in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it!
