I love using fresh herbs any time I’m creating a meal and want a burst of earthy flavor. But since I’m usually cooking for one, I don’t often get through a whole bundle before they start to wilt and I have to toss them, which is never ideal. So when I saw that hundreds of Amazon shoppers have picked up the OXO Good Grips Herb Saver over the past month and one reviewer said it’s “fantastic at preserving herbs for up to two weeks,” I added it right to my own cart. Here’s what makes this $20 produce keeper worth adding to yours, too.
The OXO Herb Saver is made to keep your leafy herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, and dill, fresh for longer by storing them via the bouquet method. The container is designed with a fill line, which takes away any guesswork when it comes to how much water to add to it — a feature I especially appreciate as someone who isn’t particularly great at keeping any type of plant thriving.
The BPA-free herb saver has built-in ventilation to prevent slimy or spoiled leaves and a flip-top lid to easily reach your herbs while you’re meal-prepping. It’s also dishwasher-safe, so when you do finally use up the herbs you have, you can easily get it ready for your next batch.
But what really makes this herb saver “well worth the money,” as one reviewer said, is just how well it actually works. While that buyer said they were able to retain the freshness of cilantro for up to a week and other herbs for longer, another shared that they were able to keep both cilantro and parsley usable for more than two weeks. “I highly recommend this product, it’s high quality and easy to use, easy to clean,” they shared, and also commented on how tidy the compact container keeps their refrigerator. And at slightly over 11 inches in height, you can even use it to keep tall vegetables, like spring onions and asparagus, from going bad before it’s time to cook.
Considering all of that, I didn’t have any hesitations about picking up the OXO Herb Saver for my own kitchen, and you can find even more must-have kitchen finds for herbs below.
