This Clever Container Keeps Cilantro, Mint, and More Herbs Fresh 'for Over a Month,' and It's Only $20

Fresh herbs just make the dishes you cook taste better. Yes, you can grab dried ones from the spice aisle in the store and shake them out from the jar, but there is nothing comparable to the flavor and smell of fresh herbs. 

Keeping herbs at their peak of freshness can be a problem, though. A great solution that can keep them fresh for “over a month,” according to shoppers, is this clever herb keeper. And it’s just $20 at Amazon.

This herb container keeps fresh herbs fresh for up to 10 days, according to the brand. The rectangular shape is slim enough (at 4.72- by 7.28- by 9.06-inches) to fit right on a shelf in the refrigerator door. Made from acrylic, the herb keeper sports a see-through “flip and slide” lid that has air vents so your herbs can breathe. And it has three removable dividers so you can put in several of your preferred herbs. 

This handy accessory keeps your herbs watered and fresh. Simply pour water into the container. A refill window shows you the water level for easy monitoring so you know when to add more. The herb container can be either washed in the dishwasher or by hand.

Over 2,800 Amazon shoppers have given this herb container a perfect rating, with reviewers saying it’s great at keeping their herbs fresh longer, saving them money, and that they love its space-saving slim design.

Another reviewer says that the “savings on cilantro alone will pay for this,” and they like that it “doesn’t take up much fridge space either.”
