There’s nothing more frustrating than buying a fresh bunch of basil or cilantro, only to find it wilted and soggy a few days later. Herbs are one of those ingredients that make a dish sing — but they’re also notoriously delicate. The good news? With a few simple tweaks to how you store them, you can keep your herbs fresh, flavorful, and fridge-ready for weeks, not days.
Start by trimming the stems as soon as you get home. Just like fresh flowers, herbs perk up when they get a clean cut — it helps them absorb just the right amount of moisture. Next, pop them into a bit of water (about an inch is all you need). Too much and you risk soggy stems, too little and they’ll dry out.
But here’s where the real magic happens: controlling humidity. That’s where the Veggie Lock™ Herb Refrigerator Saver Pod comes in. It creates the perfect environment — enough airflow to prevent wilting, and enough moisture to keep everything vibrant. No more wrapping herbs in paper towels or jamming them into random fridge drawers.
Keep your pod in the fridge door or shelf — somewhere cool but not freezing. The result? Crisp parsley, fragrant mint, and fresh dill that last up to three times longer than just tossing them in the crisper.
Not only does it save you money, it makes cooking more fun — because nothing kills dinner inspiration like pulling out a sad bunch of greens.
