34、ad I found out about the OXO Greensaver Herb Keeper. It acts as a storage container for herbs, keeping them fresh and crisp. The way it does this is by controlling three things: airflow, humidity(湿度) and hydration(水合). To get the right airflow, the herbs stand upright in a basket that nests inside t
35、he main container, which prevents them from lying flat as they normally would in other containers. The humidity is controlled by the storage lid, and the herbs stay hydrated by water that is added to the bottom of the container. Genius!My herbs did so much better in this container versus a plastic g
36、rocery store bag. In a bag, they usually start turning brown within a few days, and with the Greensaver, they lasted a week or longer. I also found this helpful in storing chopped lettuce.
