How to Dry Herbs

There's nothing like opening a jar of dried herb - say thyme, rosemary or oregano - in the dead of winter and having the scent remind you of the glorious summer day you picked it and set it to drying.
The peak time to dry herbs is right before flowering when the flavorful, aromatic oil content is at its highest. For many herb varieties that can be throughout the summer.

Very helpful, thank you! Thanks also for including how to dry the herbs with an ordinary oven for those of us that don't have fancy gadgets!

[@thenewido]

You won't have 4 times the THC.

[@tinaomotoyosi]

That's not bad; I'm using the tea as a method for quitting. Something mild every often won't be too bad

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

.. yeah, if you want a nasty end product

[@kepler9860]

oh no

[@diquadhumungersaur492]

put bin liners under while drying,slowly,to catch any and all thc crystals that fall or get knocked off.. a little pile of em is a very nice bonus. :-) enjoy

[@juliebridgetbona916]

can i dry it frying in the stove?

[@torza8827]

Can be herb dried in direct sun?

[@georgiosladas3106]

Why do we have to dry them and consum them all year? Every month there is some new flower coming. Shouldn't we be better making teas from fresh ones and on season?

[@cia712]

Now I will dry my catnip, and smoke it until I am 18.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

Catnip is for tea, or cats.

[@cia712]

Mark R it was a joke

[@chimarajigsawlord]

You don’t know him he could be a cat

[@diavolyne]

How long does it take to dry herbs like lavender in plain sunlight?

[@anguspollerd442]

you shouldn’t use sunlight but it can be 15-30 days in the air

[@Rosalinda626]

Do we clean the mold off and keep drying or just get a new batch.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

If mold grows, toss it out. Not worth the risk to health.

[@yashodanagarchiyashoda5728]

Best to good looking sar

[@Nithyavlogs]

How many hours to keep in sunlight

[@Planetnatural]

You should hang herbs for 1 to 2 weeks

[@tarquinbadarquin]

if i were to cook with dries herbs n non dried herbs, whats the difference?

[@Codeman9560]

Dried Herbs are more potent than fresh. You don't have to use as many/much as you would fresh.

[@snowsnow11]

what's the name of the plant shown at 0:23 at the very bottom left (yellowish flower like). I bought it years ago as tea herb in greece, but I forgot the name of it.

[@melissa4691]

Looks like dandelion?

[@jeanhall7601]

Where would Cilantro fall, high or low moisture content?

[@thejinx9258]

Why would you dry cilantro???

[@hsmacaraig]

Why not?

[@rejwanrahman7430]

They're high moisture

[@ganjatoker898]

Beautiful concise video. Too much blabbering now a days

[@Airmanmx1]

Can you do a video for survivalists? For individuals who rely on little to no power to survive. Perhaps an alternative to using an oven...it just hit me I guess a camp fire, seems too high maintenance to be micromanaging the drying process if you ask me but I’ll leave it to you

[@shantifranzoni5461]

who else here is cottagecore/a witch

[@geraldheckathorn7371]

Please don’t do that

[@kittenthecat_]

[@darrellmonks]

Whats an ERBS???

[@yikes4501]

darrellmonks The correct saying.

[@darrellmonks]

Warrior Voices are you sure? Are you Appy with that statement. I think that's a Uge mistake. My favourite bird is an Awk. I pray to Oly God for you. Now if you'll excuse me I have an Unt to attend. We're shooting pheasant. Onk if you're Orny.

[@spicylimes3340]

darrellmonks well its not hhhhrbs

[@christopher3386]

We pronounce it the French way.

[@nomochord3364]

Its not her it’s not hrb it’s not heb so it’s Erbs

[@jimw6659]

Herbs, not erbs.

[@joshuatremper5026]

Pronunciation comes down to preference and where you're from. Like pecan or pecan

[@weemanling]

Herbs has an 'h', you don't say 'ER' for her do you

[@mystified2356]

Not pronouncing the 'H' in herbs is the correct saying you dimwitt

[@kittenthecat_]

Xigan it depends on what type of English you’re speaking. American English is different than British English. Also, when you say “hours”, do you say the h sound? It depends on the word and there isn’t one correct way to say it.

[@thenewido]

Why would dry herbs be 4 times stronger than fresh ones? Sounds like a nice lie

[@jasonmorris8221]

thenewido due to the loss of water the flavor concentrates.

[@thenewido]

Due to the *loss of water* the *flavor concentrates*? That doesn't make sense at all. Maybe you're talking about per same weight of herbs. Yeah, 400 grams of dry herb might contain more of the active compounds of that herb compared to 400 grams of fresh, but if you take 400 grams of fresh herb and dry it, then NO, it wouldn't be 4 times stronger. I have absolutely NO IDEA how your comment got upvoted.

[@jasonmorris8221]

thenewido it doesn't make sense because you're stupid

[@thenewido]

You and I just proved to the world how idiotic you are. Now maybe go study and improve your cognitive functions rather than commenting "you're stupid" when you just lost an argument.

[@jasonmorris8221]

what explanation do you have? In fact I believe it was you who posed the question in the first place. I am a chef with a culinary degree. Next time when someone answers a question you have correctly be grateful.

[@ryanwilliams4223]

Americans pronounce everything wrong,you do not pronounce Oregano like that.

[@justinryerson6122]

Ryan Williams right? It should be pronounced, oregano. We are so dumb

[@kittenthecat_]

Just because it is pronounced differently does not mean it’s wrong?

[@torza8827]

Can be herb dried in direct sun?

[@KieshaJ55]

Tor Za yes they can! there's many videos on youtube about it :)

[@thomaswilson2848]

Yes, I dry my lavender next to my window
