The best storage for dried herbs
The secret of good taste in each of our organic herbs is based on their wealth of individual, essential oils. As soon as the structure of a leaf, stem or seed is destroyed, its aromas can literally dissolve into thin air. The warmer and the more air the dried herbs get, the easier this process is. The herbs therefore lose their taste over time. Therefore, you should make sure to keep dried herbs and aromatic herbs as undamaged as possible. It is best to keep them in aroma-tight jars or jars as dry as possible and in a dark and cool place. Incidentally, most of our bags are also made in such a way that you can easily close them again. When you order organic herbs online, you are ordering a lot that you don't have to store for a long time but can use up within about 6 months. In this way you preserve an optimal aroma of the aromatic herbs for the good taste of your dishes.
