5 Tips for How to FREEZE DRY HERBS

I grow most herbs at some point during the year in my garden. However, my favorite cool-season herbs are a fond memory during the summer heat. It is the same with fresh garden basil; most winters are too cold for basil to grow well. So I love preserving the seasonal abundance of fresh herbs by freeze-drying. It is my favorite way to preserve fresh herbs.

Don’t let your herbs go to waste. Instead, freeze-dry herbs to preserve the herbs’ flavor and quality. This simple process ensures that your herbs stay fresh and tasty for months or even years. Learn how to freeze-dry herbs with these tips.
