Growing your own herbs is so rewarding! Always on hand, they look and smell so good and can be dried at home - saving sooo much money and plastic packaging if you usually grab them from the supermarkets.

🌿 Freshly harvested herbs offer superior taste and aroma compared to dried or even store-bought fresh herbs.

🌿 Buying fresh herbs can be expensive, growing your own eliminates or reduces these costs and they are always on hand!

🌿 Herbs are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. Using them in your cooking can enhance both the flavour and nutritional value of your meals.

🌿 Think of all the wonderful teas or bath aromas you can enjoy as well as adding them to meals.

So you always have them on hand (basil doesn't love Winters here in Perth!) you can dehydrate them. I just air dry my bay leaves but you can use an oven or dehydrator - check on the google!

To avoid food waste it's important to store food properly. Crisper drawers in our fridges are designed to create a more humid environment, which helps keep vegetables fresher for longer. They help regulate humidity and airflow, preventing moisture loss and wilting.

We store our veggies in our 4MyEarth Food and Bread bags, to keep them fresher for even longer.
