Have you ever bought fresh herbs, only to see them languishing in the vegetable drawer of your fridge? A shame! But fortunately, there is a solution: you can freeze a lot of fresh herbs. This is not only convenient, but also a sustainable way to reduce food waste. By freezing herbs, you use exactly what you need and the rest stays fresh in the freezer, ready for next time. But which herbs lend themselves perfectly to this, and how do you make sure you put frozen herbs to good use? At thegreenlist.nl<\/em> we figured it out for you and share our approach!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why freeze fresh herbs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fresh herbs are an indispensable ingredient in the kitchen, including in sustainable cooking. We previously wrote an article On the importance of good herbs<\/a> to add extra flavour to your vegetarian and vegan dishes. And then the tip is to preferably work with whole and fresh herbs, as they add much more flavour to a dish than powdered herbs from a jar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By freezing fresh herbs, you make sure you always have a supply on hand, without having to worry about that vegetable drawer. Each time, you take only what you need from the freezer and the rest stays safe. That way, you'll never miss out again. But which herbs lend themselves perfectly to being frozen and how do you chop frozen herbs small? As an avid herb freezer, I figured it out for you. Partly out of my own interest, because I am also very curious about what else can be frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which herbs are good to freeze?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
