Container or a bag freezing
Freezing in a container or a bag is very simple. It allows to take a small amount at a time as needed.
- Wash the herbs and dry with a paper towel
- Chop them finely
- Separate them, without tamping, into glass jars or freezer bags
- Identify and date each jar
- Place in the freezer.
Cube freezing
Freezing in ice trays is practical and efficient. These “fine herb cubes” can be added directly to sauces or other preparations.
- Wash the herbs and dry with a paper towel
- Chop them finely
- Fill the tray compartments
- Add enough water to cover them
- Place them in the freezer
- Once frozen, remove the cubes from the ice tray and place them in containers or freezer bags.
