Who and why need frozen food? Most often heard, which makes preparations for the winter: Frost berriesMorozov, mushrooms, herbs and meat, etc. I want to say that I do not just freeze in the winter, but also for everyday life.
The greens are known to be not stored for a long time in the fresh form, although it should be almost every day. But for a long time, I freeze fresh herbs, which is not in the winter or she is somewhere, but it is very expensive. So I want to share their funny ways packaged frozen greens in bunches. Basically I'm interested dill, parsley and cilantro.

How to freeze herbs for winter
Frosting can be almost any herbs: cilantro, parsley, dill, chives, basil, tarragon, spinach, sorrel and other spices. Salads I do not freeze, because they then become watery and tasteless.
First you need to prepare the greens, that is good to wash (especially cilantro) and be sure to dry them. Crop or not thick stems, decide for yourself. I sometimes chop and freeze them separately, for the preparation of soups or salting fish or cucumber.
A method of freezing greenery for the lazy

Move into the freezer. If necessary, cut off "a piece of sausages", remove the rest.

It is good for those who do not like plastic bags, food films, plastic containers, and prefers clean eco-friendly materials.
First, chop the greens. Then fill it in a clean, dry glass jar and put into the freezer.

Chop the greens. For this method need a bag with a lock. Chopped green stacked in a thin layer, to expel excess air, close the bag and freeze. When you need to break off a piece.

Cut into its usual way.
Open cellophane package and place on the bottom portion of the green, as is usually required.
