Fresh, dried or frozen herbs – which are the best?

Herbs come in various forms, each offering its own advantages:

1. Fresh herbs – They have the most intense flavour and are ideal for enhancing salads, soups and sauces. Fresh herbs should be used soon after purchase to fully enjoy their aroma.
2. Dried herbs – They have a longer shelf life and give dishes a concentrated flavour. Dried herbs are particularly suitable for stews, sauces and marinades, as their flavour is released during cooking.
3. Frozen herbs – These herbs retain much of their flavour after freezing and are particularly handy as they’re always to hand. They’re ideal for quickly seasoning dishes in the kitchen.

Tips on storage and use

To preserve the quality of the herbs for as long as possible, correct storage is crucial. Fresh herbs can be kept in the fridge wrapped in a damp kitchen towel, whilst dried herbs should be stored in an airtight container. Frozen herbs keep for the longest in the freezer. When cooking, fresh herbs should only be added at the end of the cooking process to preserve their full flavour.

Herbs and sustainability

Sustainably grown herbs have the advantage that they are often cultivated without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. These cultivation methods are gentle on the environment whilst ensuring high-quality produce. Many suppliers opt for organic cultivation and ensure the use of sustainable packaging that has a lower environmental impact. By choosing sustainably produced herbs, you are helping to promote organic farming.
