Cum usuci și păstrezi ierburile aromatice pentru iarnă? Dafinul își păstrează aroma dacă eviți cuptorul • Newsweek România

Herbs can be preserved for winter without losing their flavor if dried and stored properly. Natural drying is recommended, especially for aromatic herbs like bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Avoid using the oven, as excessive heat can diminish essential oils that contribute to their aroma. Harvest herbs before flowering on a dry day, and dry them by tying small bundles and hanging them upside down in a well-ventilated area. Store dried herbs in clean, airtight containers, keeping them whole until use to maintain their flavor. Label containers with the herb name and drying date, and store them in a cool, dark place for optimal preservation.
