Storing herbs this way ...You were up late, Manisha! <BR/><BR/>Storing herbs this way doesn't take up excessive space, and I think it makes them last longer because the leaves aren't sitting smothered in water as they would be in a paper towel. Plus, it's less fussy to do. <BR/><BR/>Hi Kalyn. Happy anniversary! Yu choi is indeed related to rabe, but with yellow flowers instead of white. They are both in the brassica/mustard/cabbage family. Asian markets will carry it (I get mine from the Hmong farmers at the farmers market). This is the ideal time of year to eat it, much like kale. I'm sure it's good for you, too!Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-74123251896939602842007-10-14T08:36:00.000-06:002007-10-14T08:36:00.000-06:00I don't think I've ever seen this type of leafy gr...I don't think I've ever seen this type of leafy green before, and I love finding out about something new. I just googled it, and it sounds to me like it could possibly be from the same family as Broccoli Rabe, at least the plant and the flowers look very similar to me. Sounds delicious; I do love greens cook with garlic! Thanks for helping us celebrate the two year anniversary!Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-39772351875219038932007-10-14T01:34:00.000-06:002007-10-14T01:34:00.000-06:00Yay!

When I mentioned that this is how I get my herbs to last longer, I was told that I probably have way too much room in my refrigerator and that the preferred way to do it is to roll the herbs in paper towels, and then in a baggie. Mine don't last longer than a week like that. I can keep mint going to 4 weeks and cilantro for 3 weeks this way!<BR/><BR/>And, you really want that saffron, don't you? 'fess up! That's what all this is about!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
