- Start by washing the parsley under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Shake off excess water and gently pat the parsley dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove moisture completely.
2. Trim the Stems
- Trim the ends of the parsley stems to create fresh cut surfaces. This helps the herb absorb water more effectively if you choose to store it upright in water.
3. Choose Your Storage Method
Method 1: Refrigerator Storage
- Wrap in Damp Paper Towel: Lay the parsley on a slightly damp paper towel. Roll the towel gently, ensuring the parsley is wrapped without being crushed.
- Store in a Plastic Bag: Place the wrapped parsley in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer, where it will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
Method 2: Freezing
- Blanch the Parsley: To preserve the color and flavor, blanch the parsley by dipping it in boiling water for 15-20 seconds, then immediately transferring it to ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Dry and Freeze: After blanching, dry the parsley thoroughly. Spread the leaves out on a baking sheet and freeze them for a few hours. Once frozen, transfer the parsley to a freezer-safe bag or container. This method keeps parsley fresh for several months.
Method 3: Herb Butter
