Fresh and aromatic herbs will decorate any dish.

There really are ways. Specialist Daria Utkina spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Lenta.ru .
How to Store Greens

After this, you cannot neglect drying. It is enough to lay out the dill or parsley branches on a paper towel for a few minutes, and then blot.
Next, when the product is dry, it can be packaged.
The simplest option is a bag with holes for ventilation.
You can also take a glass jar that will close hermetically. In this case, you can store greens for several weeks.
Do not pack the product too tightly; there must be normal air circulation.
