I was reading an article on RecycleBank.com and they recommended using Olive Oil instead of water when freezing in ice cube trays. Does Olive Oil even freeze? What do you think?
I would think water is the best, what if you dish does not call for Oil?
If I dig up a couple of outdoor plants and bring them indoors, will they grow year round? Also Parsley, Basil & Mint.
I have tried growing Chives indoors, but they never live long.

My herbs never seem to last more than a few months so we plant them in cycles now and leave them in a small windowbox throughout the fall and winter months.
Cilantro freezes well, just vacuum seal the washed herbs and lightly chop them before bagging them. They’re going to be very wilted when you take them out to use them, but they’ll still have good flavor.

I’ve tried bringing herbs in for the winter but haven’t had much luck. Are there any special tips you can give me?

I made the mistake of putting my EVOO in the fridge once and it turned nearly solid. On that alone, I would say it freezes very well. lol

Thank you. I was curious as to the flavor difference. I will definitely use evoo from now on!
