Herbs - Harvesting, Drying, and Storing - Freezing Herbs |

Page 7 of 7 Some herbs store well frozen and soft plants such as basil, chervil, and parsley often retain better flavour when stored in this manner. To freeze herbs, place clean plant material in freezer bags, remove as much air as possible from the bag, label with the name and date, and then place in the freezer. When ready to use, do not thaw the herbs -- just chop and use as required. This is handy for culinary purposes, but if preparing extractions it is important to remember that you still have the water content in the plant material and this may affect the strength of your extraction. Herbs may be stored frozen for six months.
