Using an Herb Drying Rack If you are an herb gardener who dreads the end of the growing season, you should invest in an herb drying rack to extend the period of time during which you can enjoy your herb harvest. One of the best things about cooking with herbs that have been dried on an herb drying rack is that dried herbs are extremely concentrated compared to fresh herbs. If you are accustomed to cooking with fresh herbs, you will find that you need less than one-half the amount of the same herb when you use it in its dried form. Dried Herbs Last Longer Than Fresh Herbs Drying herbs on an herb drying rack is the most effective way to preserve them. While fresh herbs wilt after a few hours, dried herbs can be stored in the freezer or in glass jars in a dark cupboard. If dried herbs seem to have lost their essence, you can refresh them by rubbing them between your fingers before adding them to your favorite recipe. The fresh aroma will convince you that there is plenty of seasoning power remaining in the shriveled leaves that once were a part of your herb garden. Hang Herbs Upside Down on the Herb Drying Rack To dry herbs, use sharp shears or clippers to harvest herb stems early in the day. Remove the leaves that are within one inch of the cut end of the stem, and fasten ten to twenty stems of the herb together with a rubber band. Hang the bundle of herbs upside down on the herb drying rack. Gravity will pull the essential oils in the stems of the herbs downward into the leaf tips. As the moisture evaporates and the stems of the herbs grow smaller, the rubber bands will tighten around the stem ends, keeping them securely bundled together. Bundles of herbs and flowers hung upside down on an herb drying rack are actually quite attractive. If you do not have an herb drying rack, try screwing hooks around the frame of a door and hanging bundles of herbs upside down on the hooks. As you dry lavender, Echinacea, yarrow, and other herbs, the colorful bundles will add a beautiful and natural element to your interior d cor. An herb drying rack should be made of natural material that encourages air flow, like wood, twine, or fiber board. The flow of air around the herbs is essential to preserving their essential oils. Herbs need not be in the dark to dry, but they should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and leaching of the natural oils.
Herb Garden Kits are the Perfect Choice for the Novice Gardener If you have wanted to stretch your green thumb into the wonderful world of herbs, perhaps an herb garden kit is the right choice for you. With the popularity of growing herbs at home on the increase, more and more companies are coming out with their own versions of herb garden kits that offer plenty of versatility and variety. Whether you are interested in growing a garden of culinary delights or a medicinal herb plot, you can find what you are looking for in an easy to use, all inclusive kit. Themed Kits Indoor Herb Gardens Herb garden kits come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and some do not even require that you place the seeds into the dirt. There are kits that include seed filled mats that you simply lay on top of the soil and water. Others come with pre-planted seed pods that you add water to and watch them grow. Other herb garden kits will supply the pots, soil and seeds so that you can get in on the planting action yourself. Some kits are fairly basic in appearance, making them a good choice for the outdoor garden. Others come with decorative pots and planters that make them an attractive choice for indoor gardening or outdoor patios. Herbs can be a fun and easy crop to grow, even if you don’t consider yourself to have a green thumb. Herb garden kits can make the entire process even easier. Happy gardening!
A Variety of Herb Grinders The benefits of using natural herbs for aromatherapy, stress relief, and flavoring foods are undisputed. The most efficient way to prepare dried herbs for use is to crush their leaves in an herb grinder. Aromatherapy Herbs Fresh and dried lavender, chamomile, jasmine, peppermint, lemongrass, orange, and balsam are natural ingredients for aromatherapy. Herb grinders can be used to combine the dried leaves together to form a blend you can use for sachets or potpourri. Stress Relief Unpopular as it may be, tobacco is commonly used to relieve stress. Pipe or cigarette smokers adventurous enough to grow their own tobacco will need to use an herb grinder to make them rollable. In California, Oregon, and several other states, the medicinal use of marijuana has been decriminalized for relief from stress, pain, and the nausea associated with undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Culinary Herbs Allspice, basil, bay leaf, marjoram, coriander the list of culinary herbs goes on and on. A kitchen herb grinder can make them all accessible to you. An herb grinder makes all the pieces of an herb uniform. You never have to worry that someone will get an extra big bite of thyme or oregano. Herb Grinder Mortar and Pestle One of the earliest grinders known to humankind is still in use today: the mortar and pestle. This combination, most effective when made from stone, reduces sturdy dried herbs to powder in no time at all. It does require some effort, though, to get results. Twist Herb Grinder The best selling modern herb grinders available today look like a flat, round disc that fits in the palm of your hand. The disc is actually a compartment with an upper and lower part that has pegs protruding from the inside. When you twist the upper and lower pieces of the grinder, the herbs are ground by the action of the pegs against each other. Bud Buster Herb Grinder An “underground” use, if you will, for herb grinders is to chop cannabis to prepare it for smoking, similar to the way pipe smokers would chop tobacco. These grinders have come to be nicknamed “bud busters” because they break up flower buds of the marijuana plant. More sophisticated grinders include a fine screen to separate the more potent pollen and micro particles from the leaf of the plant. Herb grinders can also be used to grind tea leaves or chop any dense, sticky, leafy material that an individual needs to reduce in size. |
