How to preserve parsley: the tricks that really work

When we put the stems of our parsley bouquet like a bouquet of flowers in a vase and keep it in a place where they are exposed to direct light, our aromatic heart aggravation remains peaceful and retains its taste and aroma intact, for at least three days.

The fridge is a great ally in the preservation of food and thus also of parsley. To store parsley in the refrigerator, simply place it in a container filled with water (fully immerse it) or in a food bag, so that it can be kept for at least 3 days in this case.

Keep parsley in the freezer: glasses and “single portions”

If the refrigerator is one of our biggest allies when it comes to food preservation, the freezer is certainly our best friend. There are many methods to keep parsley in the freezer for several months. The first and simplest is to divide our bond of parsley into many ministry outside and then put them into different food bags.

The second method is to separate the leaves from the stems, put them in a glass and then freeze it. The third method is to produce water and parsley cubes with the help of the corresponding forms. In this case, we can use individual portions parsley if necessary.

In addition, we can also mix parsley to obtain a kind of finished minced meat, which we can freeze in a special airtight container and gradually use it.

Before freezing, parsley must be washed and, if you do not decide to use the diced method, dried. Remember that parsley, like any other food, can no longer be stored in the refrigerator after thawing, but must be eaten!

Parsley inlaid in oil

Foods can also be preserved very well in oil, and of course this also applies to parsley. We can choose to either insert a whole bunch of parsley or just their leaves in oil.

Before the parsley is inserted exclusively into extra virgin olive oil in an airtight glass, it must be washed and dried well. The bunch or leaves must be completely covered with oil so that they stay fresh for at least one month.

We recommend that you keep your parsley in oil in the refrigerator and not in the pantry and not throw away the oil in which we have stored it, as it is actually an excellent spice and is a good, naturally flavored oil that can also be used for other dishes to sauté.
