Mint Storage Tips: Does mint turn black in 1 day? 4 tips to keep leaves green for a week How To Store Mint Leaves Fresh For Week Simple Tips Photoshow

When you buy mint from the market, never forget to keep it in the refrigerator immediately. Water is added to keep the mint leaves fresh. When you bring them home, first take them out and dry them thoroughly and then keep them in the refrigerator. If you keep wet mint in the refrigerator, the leaves will turn black immediately. If there is soil on mint, clean it by hand and dry it.

Do not keep dried mint in the fridge just like that. Wrap the leaves in a slightly damp paper towel and pack in an airtight container or zip-lock bag and refrigerate. By using paper towel, the moisture dries up and the leaves do not become too wet, due to which the leaves look fresh for a long time.

If you want to keep green mint fresh for 5-7 days, you can wrap the dry leaves and stalks in aluminum foil and keep them in the refrigerator. Due to this, they remain fresh for a long time and do not get spoiled or blacken. Keep in mind that the leaves should not be wet.
