storing dried parsley?
I have a parsley plant that I've managed to take care of and learn about. I love to garden but this is my first herb. I recently dried it out and stored it in a regular "Ball" glass jar from the grocery store with an air-tight lid, and after about a week and a half it was yellowy green and soft, no longer "dried". I dried it by laying all the leaves flat and putting them in the microwave for 45 seconds, flipping them over and doing another 45 seconds. Could use some advice on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this, thanks!
Re: storing dried parsley?
Storing in a glass ball jar should be great...I however have never tried (or heard of) drying them that way in the microwave? The only drying methods I have tried is to hang them upside down--I do mine in the garage. Or, lay them flat on a cookie sheet on a paper towel and let dry for several days/week until they are dried out. I have also read that you can freeze them and this will work as well.
Perhaps it was my drying method then. I'm going to hang them upside down next time, I was so disappointed when I opened the jar. I guess I'll store it the same and dry it differently. Thank you!
