How to Pick
When choosing a basil bunch, look for vibrant green leaves that are free from any browning or wilting. The leaves should also have a strong, fresh aroma, indicating their high quality and flavor.
Additionally, check for firm stems and avoid any bunches with yellowing or slimy leaves. It's also a good idea to choose organic or locally grown basil for the best taste and sustainability.
How to Store
Store your basil bunch in a glass of water on the countertop, similar to how you would store fresh flowers. Change the water every couple of days and trim the stems to keep the basil fresh. Do not refrigerate as it will cause the leaves to blacken and wilt. Use within a week for best flavor and aroma.
