Chef's Secret: Keep Your Basil Fresh Longer!

Chef Jordi Morera of À Punt Mèdia's "La Cuina de Morera" recently shared a simple yet effective tip for keeping basil fresh. In a short video segment, Morera demonstrates how to prevent basil from wilting quickly by wrapping it in paper before placing it in the refrigerator. He explains that direct cold air is detrimental to the herb's freshness. "What kills basil is direct cold," Morera explains in the video, "so if you put it in a drawer or wrap it, the cold air won't reach it and the leaves stay fresh." This practical advice is valuable for home cooks and easily adaptable for a quick article, especially given the source's credibility as a well-known media outlet.
