I'm new to gardening and growing herbs. Now that you've shown me how to preserve them, I will grow more. I'm so excited! Thanks for sharing. Watching in Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA.
Thank you Dimitra for all your helpful and delicious recipes, you taught me a lot and whatever I cooked they all came up fantastic. God bless you and your family , please continue your U-Tube programs. I live north of Dallas.
Dimitri.....thank you for this perfectly timed video. No more throwing out money! I love cooking with herbs but never seem to use them all up and end up in the trash.
Excellent video!!! You are a very good instructor. Because you have a bit of a garden outside, or for those who have a patio you can cut the end of the scallions off and put them in water to get the roots going . . . then plant in your garden or in a pot. You will have scallions all of the time. It is nice to see a fellow spice girl.
Save the stems from the herbs and put them in a freezer bag along with the ends and extras from vegetables that you cut up. When you get enough make a vegetable broth. You can save your bones from different meats and make a meat or bone broth. The broths can be used for soups or as a replacement for oil in cooking. You can also use the broth in place of the water you would use to make rice. It ends up adding a wonderful layer of flavor!
hi love love this herb tutorial. i will be making this exactly like u did and give to friends. love the way u show how to prepare tt and how u show step by step. thx u so much.
I agree Tanya! Forgot all about how amazing vacuum sealers are. They preserve food so much longer and it stays very fresh tasting! Great for prepping ahead :)
@@DimitrasDishes Yes plus space-saving too in your fridge & freezer. I recommend please get protection for electronics like vacuum sealers just in case if it breaks or gets defective. Get Asurion or Square Trade Protection!
Another excellent video and I will be using the drying and freezing methods as I grow lots of herbs in my garden. Only one error, the word is Herbs, not Erbs!
Love these type of videos! Maybe next u could tell us how to preserve cheese! I know u probably go through feta pretty fast for ur family, but for people that only cook for 1 or 2 people, you find yourself constantly throwing out goat and feta cheese. 🤦♀️😔. And it’s expensive. 💰
I don’t wish to criticise, but I read that the proper way to dry herbs was NOT to wash them because if you don’t have a good place to dry them (or don’t live in a suitably warm area, where the weather might be very changeable) the herbs will rot or, at best, get mould on the leaves. Freezing is different and I have tried your method with my mints, but I won’t risk the harvest by washing it first. If you are satisfied that no animals have been near them to contaminate them, they should be OK for drying. My source recommended picking them on a warm sunny day, after the dew had dried (and most of the insects have gone back into hiding until night time). I would welcome your comments, as I live in Swansea, Wales, UK.
Hi Janet! I live in Houston, Texas and it's pretty moldy here. It's a very humid place and I always wash my herbs before I dry them because many times there are bugs in them. I remove as much of the water as I can before hanging them to dry in the driest room of my house, the laundry room. I will check the written instructions to make sure that is emphasized, because, you are right, if the herbs are not in a dry place, they will get moldy. Thanks so much for your comments!

👍 I've never tried freezing herbs or scallions because I thought they'd wilt. And freezing herbs in olive oil; brilliant! Thanks!

TY Dimitroula mou! I love this video about preserving herbs which is great. I freeze scallions a lot.I also recommend investing in a vacuum sealer.
