Storage & uses
The leaves wilt quickly upon harvesting, but this will not affect the flavor. To successfully store fresh dill, spritz whole stems lightly with a fine spray of water, wrap loosely in paper towels, and place in a sealed zip-top plastic bag. Store the dill in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator.
Shelf-life
Dill as a fresh herb lasts for five to seven days. Beyond this time the leaves start wilting and eventually start rotting. Dried Dill which is not ground can last for one to two years.
Storage tips
To store dill cut off 1 of the stems and place in a jar with water and store in the refrigerator. We found it unnecessary (and wasteful) to place a plastic bag over the top of the herbs as they stayed just as fresh without one. Check and replace water as necessary, or every few days.
Storage temperature
The components analysed were preserved in leaves to only a slightly higher extent than in whole plants. If good (90%) preservation of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and beta-carotene were to be used as a criterion of valuation, the dill could be stored for up to 6 months at −20 °C without blanching.
A shipment description, or parcel information, is asked in those rare cases that a courier company is trying to locate your parcel because it became unreadable due to a fallen off label or an unreadable label. We will go through the process and tell you what parcel information you have to give.
The shipment or order details, on the contrary, is a summary of all the information regarding a parcel that a shipper wants to send to a receiver. It contains information about the pick-up and delivery address and contact person. It is of great importance to us and the courier that we are fully aware of the content of the parcel (it’s weight, dimensions, specific content, …) because it helps us to asses which service would be the safest and cheapest for you. Having a thorough parcel content description will avoid problems during transport, for example when a courier has to pick up a parcel that is much heavier and bigger than mentioned.
