In trying to cook for a clean eating diet vs. fast food, higher fat diet, you need to use herbs to boost flavor. Typical processed foods utilize saturated fat, sugar and salt to enhance taste. As a way to make fresh herbs last longer and therefore are available to you more often and making them last longer saves you money.! Try Prepara's Herb Savor.
I received one as a gift and I thought maybe it was like ' a clapper' (all hype and no substance). But, it really works. it puts the stems of the herbs in water, while circulating air through the leaves. I've kept fresh rosemary for 2 months. Basil doesn't last that long. It runs around $30 at prepara.com.
