Nothing is more delicious or aromatic than the taste of fresh herbs. Our Herb Keeper locks in the flavor of fresh herbs for up to three weeks. Stores up to three bunches of fresh herbs at a time. Perfect for fresh parsley, cilantro, oregano, and more. Also doubles as a great way to keep asparagus fresh and hydrated.Culinary Note: One tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs equals one teaspoon of the same herb, dried.

Saving Herbs
»
I own this item and use it often. I grew lots of fresh herbs this year and I continue to buy them too. They weren't lasting very long. I was wasting money for a few tablespoons of herbs. This herb keeper works. The herbs will keep ten days or better. I now own two. Now here's a secret go to HSN and find the same product with a pickle keeper for less. It a two-fer I don't know How long it will last.

OK...for $10
»
As other reviews have stated, I too had issues with the screwing & unscrewing of the bottom section of the container. It takes some work to align the threads properly, and admittedly, I am not patient enough for that. When I use it now, I simply pour in the water from the top, rather than upset myself trying to disassemble & then reassemble the darn thing.
On another note, the cylinder is rather skinny for certain herbs. For instance, generally when you purchase parsley, it's in a rather robust bunch, and I find myself cramming all my herbs into the container. Be aware that skinnier herbs work better in this.
Do I regret buying it? Nooo, not really. I picked it up for less than $10 at a local discount store, so no big loss. Would I pay $18 + $9 in shipping? HECK NOOOO!!! Throw your herbs in a mug or cup, fill with water, and toss into the fridge. That'll work just as well, and it's free!

Love this item. It keeps the herbs alive and usable for a good length of time. For those of us that purchase from the grocery store and do not have the luxury of a herb garden...it is a life safer. highly recommend

Difficult to open and close lower water container
»
I received this for a gift and was very excited as keeping fresh herbs "fresh" is a difficult task. The problem I have with this product - the screwing and unscrewing of the lower part is extremely difficult. Especially if your hands are wet or damp and that is the norm after filling or refilling it to re-attach. It is very easy to get the "threads" twisted - thereby making it even more difficult to correct. I don't know whether my container is defective - I will keep trying to "train" myself to fasten it better. The concept is good - just needs a bit of "tweaking".
