The Straight Dope

We’re all for healing a nation. Herbs are seductive, aromatic and abundantly available. Take a deep inhale. Smells great, huh? But be warned: do not keep your herbs in those little plastic Baggies…if you do, you’re in for a sprig-snafu.

We trip for thyme and get buzzed on basil. We have munchies for mint and are ravenous for rosemary. Yes. We are herb addicts and our names are Julie and Lisa.

We regularly use fresh herbs to enhance everything from soups and sauces to pastas and poultry. Like everyone, we hated to throw herbs away but found it hard to stretch their storage time…that is, until we discovered the cleverly designed Cuisipro Herb Keeper. An amazing tool, it keeps the herbs upright, stems underwater and fits easily in the refrigerator door. Extending your herbs’ freshness and flavor by a fortnight (yes, that’s 2 whole weeks), is as easy as changing the water in the base every few days. And, when we don’t have fresh herbs on hand (a rare occurrence), we use the Cuisipro keeper for more vibrant and crunchy celery and asparagus.
