Lots of basil (or other herbs) at the end of the season? Do this!

[@candacerushing6882]

You learned SO MUCH growing up! You’ve put it to great use, and your mom and grandmother did a good job. Thanks for sharing it! 🍃

[@patsavard9810]

I use a paper bag laid on its side... I shake it and turn the bag at least 2 times a day. Works well, too, and no dust on the leaves. Love basil.

[@annabughman1886]

30 minutes at 180 degrees and the pans out of my way! Dried 3 pounds of herbs the other weekend, about a laundry basket full. The house smelled amazing!

[@t_n_rasberry8387]

Thanks I shared this with my mom.

[@claudiajudge4337]

Thank you. I learn so much from you. I’m drying parsley.

[@159ww9]

That is so great to know I had no idea you could just leave it out to dry. Thank you!

[@cynthiamorton3583]

Thank you, Kaleb! I have rather a lot of basil this year!

[@marymohan4034]

I like this idea and will be trying this. You always have amazing ideas. Thanks so much for sharing. Kaleb ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@sadohrs8431]

Thank you for this tip. My husband grows a lot of basil during summer and they end up flowering as we have so much of it.

[@Scocia]

Thank you! I didn’t know room temp would work! ❤❤

[@maqueehdiaz7732]

❤❤❤ Love MUCH this vid of yours. Surely I'll try this method.❤❤❤Greetings from 1 of your subscribers here in UAE

[@LaLadybug2011]

That bundle of basil is beautiful! I could almost smell it❤

[@chrystalbrown9600]

I can almost smell it!❤

[@macdellajaa1317]

I'm going to try it today. Thank you!

[@frankferreira1124]

I did'nt really realize that it is fairly easy to do, just a little time and patience. Thank you for all of the educating you provide!

[@phillipsmom6252]

Yummy 🌱🌱🌱

[@naila999]

Thank u. I'll b making lots of dried herbs n this is great.

[@teenytinydiva]

I love it. And unlike with a dehydrator, it maintains more flavor.

[@ctap7767]

YUMmmm! I can smell it! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge & showing (or reminding) us how easy it is to live a healthy clean life with yummy food! ManyBlessings!💜

[@brendakeller9646]

Love my dried herbs. Makes great kitchen Christmas presents for your friends.

[@wendymoyer782]

Thank you!!

[@jackielambes7208]

This is so crazy. I was just going to google how to preserve my basil and you saved the day! Thanks so much for always having the best videos and tips. You rock!

[@sandysue2017]

Looks so easy! Thanks for sharing this.

[@debrak.6430]

Great! Im doing that Today!!!!

[@Rosa-fi3yl]

great idea, thanks will try this!

[@LoisCandler]

❤know that would be so flavorful!

[@laylamegamova1603]

Thanks…. Will do it tomorrow…😊

[@laurenlowery5799]

Great idea!! 😊

[@HeatherTiffany-k6c]

Love your videos. Thank you for all the tips and tricks ❤

[@rentedspace7462]

Love this

[@alyvincent5984]

Thanks!

[@IdaIda-ur8vx]

Already doing it - with all of my herbs! 😂 Although with basil I first make as many basil pesto jars for freezer as a I can, and then when I have enough, I dry the rest of the basil until season is over.

[@natalialopes719]

Great idea!

[@marcirobins5144]

Thanks!❤

[@somchitkudeeratana236]

Thanks for such an easy and great way to preserve

[@annelygermaine7874]

Nice. Inspiring!

[@teehashtag4983]

Thank you!! This was right on time!

[@karenwright5168]

So so, so smart and easy I love it!❤

[@lauriel1826]

good information, thank you!

[@eduardochavacano]

This is very nice. If put under the sun, it will dry faster?

[@RaymondWilliams-od6ib]

Beautiful. I don't have a lot of space si I just put branches in several coffee mugs for a few days.

[@judithwinarski1480]

The smell is wonderful

[@kathryncarterman4078]

The stems are flavorful

[@sorellabella8415]

Genius❤

[@joansmith6844]

Wow ty ❤

[@cbagot]

I do extra herbs in the microwave due to space constraints. They are awesome and really retain flavor and taste. Better than my jarred.

[@judymushonga7778]

Thank you for this tip. I have a lot of basil and I didn’t know what to do with it. I made some pesto last year but I didn’t that you can dry it.❤

[@dasandbox2555]

Yum. I have tons this year. I’m also using some to make pesto. What’s your recipe for great pesto?

[@Unajenita]

Thank you for the great tip!! 💕 Where would you recommend placing it in the home for optimal drying and less likelihood of dust settling on them?

[@dotbotha5898]

Clever man

[@nancycaballero5928]

❤

[@lidiajimenez2728]

😊

[@debbiegordon7622]

I dry mine either tied upside down and hang , or in 200 degree oven or my air fryer and comes out perfectly everytime

[@rosebayer114]

How I wish I could grow large basil. They just don't get big for me. Will try again next year and if it goes well, I'll dry them using your method. Thank you. 😊

[@julivictoria4501]

Seriously? I kept it in the fridge & it rotted! The deer ate what was good to them but now i know! TY for showing this method ❤❤❤

[@mrwiggiewoo]

Sun and heat ( from the dehydrator) work but they will diminish the flavor as they dry. Cool dry place is the best way.

[@angelatruly]

Very cool. I dont need a dehydrator. Did you dry out on the counter? Or did you put in oven? Did you cover the trays?

[@WyseGuide]

Just dried on the counter! It takes some time, but works great! 🌱

[@najahalbrakat8955]

اوراق الريحان الطازجة افضل في خبز البيتزا و الفطائر بالجبنة

[@katval8078]

Cool can you mint this way also

[@kayorr2683]

I made basil salt with some of mine.

[@susankeith326]

This is exactly how I dry herbs.

[@RfM2022]

Should we wash it first before drying? Thanks!

[@-xyz-012]

Yes

[@lucart08]

Did you wash it first?

[@Elena-kc3vw]

Do you wash it first?

[@t_n_rasberry8387]

Can you please share other quick grow plants that we can do this same thing to?

[@t_n_rasberry8387]

Can you please show us how to make Cumin, paprika, etc. seasonings. Please tag me if you make it so I can watch.

[@lindaowens2636]

Do you clean the basil before you dry it? I usually soak my herbs in salt water before using.

[@GenevieveWaller-pk3xg]

What about bayleaf? Should you crumble it or leave it as a leaf?

[@SG-wq4rm]

Do you think it would work for cilantro?

[@barbaraburrough7464]

Did you design your yard and garden? Or do you have help from a design company?

[@WyseGuide]

Everything is my design! I will occasionally have help from a local landscaper on the hardscape features, such as my path, but it's all part of my larger longer-term plan. 🌞

[@MeHasNoHands]

How do you stop it from going bad?

[@margaretm1606]

It's better to crumble the dried basil when you need it, not ahead of time or you lose the aromatic oils as the small pieces lose them faster than the whole leaves.

[@apoorvach4258]

I have a question off topic from this video, how do you preserve peanuts for longer...?

[@denaross]

Anything with a high oil content like nuts I store in the freezer and take out small amounts at a time

[@johngay1981]

Wash before drying like that??

[@mehruthomas]

what about rosemary? mine became black when i left in the fridge

[@maria-margaritabravo8331]

Put it in the microwave on a towel and check on it every 15 seconds. Works well and it's fast.

[@karenkaplan8391]

Does it go in the oven….I missed something here 🤷‍♀️🤔

[@WyseGuide]

It does not! It dries at room temperature over the course of 6-8 days. 🍃

[@emmaharrison1399]

It takes longer than 6 days in a dehydrator?! I’m about to do this,…I tried the microwave: first batch - perfect! Second batch burst into flames! I’ll do some in the dryers and some on trays to compare, if I can keep the kitteh away from the trays.

[@WyseGuide]

No, it takes 6 days to dry at room temperature. It's much quicker in a dehydrator!

[@emmaharrison1399]

@@WyseGuide Thanks! We kept a quite low temperature, and the Greek basil turned out great in dehydrators.

[@habidhussain]

I wish I had time to do this 😢

[@tamarasself-sufficientlife7539]
