Chef's Notes
Treat your basil like the high-maintenance royalty it truly is, and it will reward you with weeks of aromatic bliss.
Pro Tip
Never shove your basil into the refrigerator right away; cold temperatures shock the delicate cells and turn them into a sad, black mush.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You seal the plastic bag completely airtight like you are packing for deep-sea diving, suffocating the basil into a slimy, black tragedy within twenty-four hours.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the basil plant break up with the refrigerator? Because it said the relationship was just way too cold and lacked any real warmth.
The Culinary Science
Submerging stems in water allows capillary action to keep the herbaceous cells hydrated, while the loose plastic tent creates a high-humidity microclimate that prevents dehydration.
