Herbs for Cooking
Other
During spring, summer and autumn, I grow the herbs that I need for my cooking. Just during winter I buy from the supermarkets because they don't get enough sunlight near windows. Whag do you do for your cooking?
archanat probably not all but I freeze leafy herbs like parsley in water in ice cube trays.
archanat you can, but it's not good idea to freeze it ,
it takes most of the flavour away and the herbs is not so strong as it was before it went into the freezer
texture will change as well
here is a website you can have a look at:

Drying it, is a lot more better
it will last longer for a very long time
it's freshness is still there
some herbs are stronger when it's dry
My late grandma always told me best way to eat herbs is drying or fresh... back home where I come from
nobody would allow you to put herbs in a freezer.
they will think your losing it
as it's much hotter where I come from it's a lot easier to dry if you need to store good amount of herbs.
I have never seen my Indian friends put herbs in the freezer either,
so am guessing Indian people
would never do that or Chinese people because of the reasons above
here is another website you may want to look at

hope this helps
I am thinking to grow them...outside in the Summer and some of the herbal plants are fine in the Winter too.
