Like fresh flowers, herbs need fresh water, refrigeration and a little space to remain fresh, colorful and crisp. Herbs are stored in a removable tray with slots to hold herb stems, which are kept hydrated by water placed at the bottom of the container. The container's lid also lifts off easily for adding more water. The clear plastic container (BPA-free) measures 4-3/4 inches in diameter and 9-1/2 inches tall, and it conveniently fits in most refrigerator doors. Hand wash only.

It Works!,
This review is from: Cuisipro Herb Keeper (Kitchen)
At long last I've found a way to sustain my Cilantro habit. Every single time I go to the store, I buy at least one bunch of organic cilantro as I put it in everything. But more often than not, part of it turns black before I get to it and wrecks the whole bunch. At $1.50 per bunch, it adds up. Growing it myself did not work at all, so I've been on the look-out for a solution. And guess what? I found it. Cuisipro's Herb Keeper really works and I've yet to throw away yucky black cilantro, or any other herb, since I've started using it.
I was skeptical about this at first, mainly because it's plastic and I have a thing against plastic, plus I suspected it contained BPA since it's a hard clear plastic. However, a rep at Cuisipro assured me that it is SAN plastic and does not contain BPA. I do wish it were glass, but that is my only complaint. I've tried all sorts of ways to prolong the life of fresh herbs, and this is the most effective I've found yet. It's clean and easy to manage. You just wash your herbs really well, pull out any browning or black stems or leaves, and place the stems in the container on the stick. You fill the bottom a with about two inches of water (I change mine at least every other day) and lower the stick down into the water. And voila! Just snip off what you need, when you need it.

Less food waste! A Green Solution!,
By B-Bopp (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuisipro Herb Keeper (Kitchen)
I decided to take a chance on this item as part of my effort to reduce my food waste. Many food items can simply be bought in smaller quantities. But herbs generally come bundled. If I make a dish using cilantro, the remainder of the bunch goes bad before I can use it again. This container kept a bunch of cilantro going strong for almost four weeks! Yes, you do need to change the water-- every few days suffices and it's effortless to do. ( I've noticed a few negative reviews making reference to basil, and some confusion about refrigeration. Basil should *not* be refrigerated.)
Aside from impressively prolonging the freshness of herbs, this container has the added advantage of making your herb supply entirely visible. Countless times, I stuffed a plastic bag of herbs in my vegetable crisper, only to get lost among other bags. So I forget they are there, and then I buy a new bunch of the herb, when I already had the item. Oh yeah-- and plastic bags. I don't put my herbs in plastic bags at the grocery store anymore. I just buy them au natural and put them in my container when I get home. In a effort to be as "green" as possible, I'm not a fan of buying gimmicky items. But this has become a very useful tool for me.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cuisipro Herb Keeper (Kitchen)
If you use fresh herbs this keeper is invaluable. We have 2 of them in the frig all the time. Simple to use, easy to clean, and they keep your herbs fresh for a week or more. I recently bought 2 more to give as gifts.
