For the freshest basil, store it like a bouquet.
Basil is the notable exception to the rule. Cold temperatures can quickly turn those gorgeous green tendrils black and mushy. For a bunch of basil you’d like to keep around more than a couple days, take a cue from food director Chris Morocco. The best way to keep basil fresh, he says, is to trim the ends of the stems as you would a bouquet of flowers, and then place the cut basil in a glass jar, tall vase, or glass of water.
Chris’s method only takes a few minutes, and that peak-summer bunch deserves star treatment. Let it flourish and perfume your kitchen on proud display in a flower vase. Summer doesn’t last forever.The internet is rife with different methods on how to preserve fresh basil flavor using the freezer: blitzed into ice cube trays or swaddled in freezer bags. While you canfreeze basil, be warned that, when frozen, basil loses its vibrant green color, fresh flavor, and tender texture.
