You can store dill or parsley in another way - by dipping them in a jar or glass of water. But if you do not change the water for several days and do not remove the yellowed leaves, the green spices will not retain their properties.
Dill and parsley can be frozen. Wash and finely chop the dill or parsley. Fill an ice cube tray with the chopped green spices and cover with a little water.
Once frozen, remove the diced greens and place them in a freezer storage box. If necessary, put the required amount of cubes in the dishes. You can also add them to salads, but you must defrost them beforehand.
Another method of storing dill and parsley is salting these green spices. The plants are washed, finely chopped and filled into glass jars with a lot of salt.
About 200 grams of salt are added to 1 kg of green spices. Closed jars are stored in a dark and cool place. The refrigerator is a good place to store salty spices.
Dill and parsley can also be stored in olive oil. The green spices are washed, finely chopped and placed in jars. Drizzle with olive oil so that they are completely covered with fat and 1 finger of fat remains on top. The jars are stored in a dark and cool place.
Parsley and dill can also be stored with vinegar. The greens are washed, finely chopped, mixed with salt and vinegar and placed in airtight jars. Top with olive oil or vegetable oil, which should completely cover the green mixture.
The fat will protect the spices from mold and they will be stored for about 4 -5 months. For every 100 grams of greens put 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Thus prepared parsley and dill are used for soups and sauces.
