The Preservation Trick To start, you need some parsley, preferably fresh. Wash it and place it on a cutting board. Chop the parsley into large pieces with a knife. Next, place the freshly chopped parsley in a fairly deep container.
Now, add a tablespoon of baking soda. Pour cold water over the parsley until it is completely submerged and the baking soda dissolves. Use a spoon to ensure the leaves are completely soaked.
At this point, it is essential to leave the parsley soaking for about fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, clean the cutting board with some vinegar alcohol. This ensures that all bacteria are eliminated and that the board is ready for future use.
After 15 minutes, rinse the herb under running water and change the water about three times.
Parsley drained on a towel Place a clean sponge towel on the clean cutting board and place the drained herb on top. Dry the parsley well with a towel.
Now you will need a clean, dry glass jar.
Cover the bottom of the jar with paper towels. With a spoon, press it firmly against the walls of the jar. Fill the jar with parsley. The jar should be made of clear glass with an airtight seal.
At this point, you can place the jar of parsley in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh and intact for about a month. Once you master this trick, it is likely to become a staple of your kitchen routine.
