Preserving Herbs: How to Make Herbal Infused Salt

Preserving herbs can be a bit tricky, and one of the methods I love is to preserve the leafy greens like basil, in salt. These herbs can be short-lived, so by adding them to salt as a preservative you have a delicious cooking or finishing salt and hold the flavor of the herb. Delicious! #herbalist #preserving #heidivillegas #homesteading #healingharvesthomestead

I'm so glad it's not just me that forgets things in the dehydrator!!! ❤❤❤🤣

Perfect timing, I have a bumper crop of basil again! 😁

[@HeidiVillegas]

NICE! My basil is now frozen and gone.....that's one great thing about living in zone 8 or 9! Your basil lasts a lot longer!

Love this!! ❤ I have a dehydrator but I once tried to further dry out some spinach powder at a very low temp, but it just blew it everywhere!! Do you have any idea why this might have happened?

[@HeidiVillegas]

It's just a very, very light dried herb. :-)
