Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question Please could you tell me which herbs out of the daily used herbs / vegetables (mint, basil, cilantro, parsely, rosemary, spring onions, dill, spinach, ginger, garlic) can be frozen and out of those can any be used as fresh once frozen. Can you tell me the best way to freeze them.
Also, which vegetables can I make the best use of when frezing and how...eg. tomatoes.
Answer Nasreen:
I can only give you of a few herbs that I have frozen and did well.
Mint,ginger, parsley, rosemary,garlic. Allow to thaw out a little before putting in recipe. Try putting basil in ice cubes. Basil in just bags will turn black. Others can also be tried in ice cubes.
