Common questions

How long do herbs last in the fridge?

7–10 days from the date of purchase.

Can you freeze herbs, and for how long?

Yes. 1–2 months from the date of purchase.

How can I tell if herbs have gone bad?

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
