Using an herb saver can help you save money and reduce food waste by keeping your herbs fresh for longer.
An herb saver is a kitchen tool designed to help keep fresh herbs fresher for longer. It usually consists of a container with a lid and a tray or basket that holds the herbs. The container is designed to keep the herbs fresh by providing a moist environment and protecting them from air and light.
The tray or basket in the herb saver is designed to keep the herbs upright, allowing their stems to rest in water, which keeps them hydrated and fresh. The container's lid helps to seal in moisture and prevent air from entering, which can cause the herbs to wilt and spoil. With the Prepara model shown at left you fill the bottom with fresh water every 3 to 5 days. The link for this model is below.

Some people recommend freezing herbs but that defeats the purpose of fresh herbs for cooking! Using an herb saver, your herbs should last 7 - 12 days longer.
