From Southern Living. More reasons to store dried herbs!
“Fresh Isn’t Always Best”
“Dried herbs are a better choice for long braises because they won’t turn bitter and are also ideal for rubs since they help create a delicious crust. Their flavor is more concentrated than the fresh kind, especially when protected from light, heat, air, and moisture. Generally, if you are substituting dried herbs for fresh, use about a third of the amount that a recipe calls for. You’ll also want to add them in the earlier stages of the cooking process, not at the end.”
