I do it all the time. My favorite one is the Thai seasoning one, I use it in my curry. </p> <p>I will be looking for basil spray, yum! Now I want pesto... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-66504 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:30:14 +0000 tequiero21 66504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sounds interesting. never ever thought to put basil in salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-66433 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:21:49 +0000 Weagle 66433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: @mediagirl: They last a couple of months at least. If you cook even just a moderate amount, you'll definitely use one up before it goes bad. Especially the parsley, basil, and other basic herbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-66064 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:57:03 +0000 BSB 66064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yup. It grows back. I threw my last basil plant out because we went out of town for 2 weeks. I need to buy another one. I've only seen basil plants, though. I wish there were more herbs that grew that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-66053 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:50:11 +0000 Andrea 66053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: i always wondered about the little herb plants. so if you ripe off a huge bunch to use, it grows back quickly so you never run out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-66042 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:40:11 +0000 Clementine 66042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this sounds great esp. since i love fresh basil but i never end up using all of the stuff i buy etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65965 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:55:30 +0000 BSB 65965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's cool. I need to look out for it.</p> <p>As for the tubes of Basil or herbs, they still go bad. Although, I don't know how long they last compared to fresh. </p> <p>I do like getting the Basil plants that you buy at the grocery store. It's already planted and ready to go. I place the plant in a tall glass and add about an inch of water and just keep adding water. Yeah, this is much easier than those packets of seeds. I'm not a gardner so I suck at keeping plants alive.</p> <p>Next time, I buy fresh herbs, I plan on freezing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65960 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:49:48 +0000 Boogs 65960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: That's a great tip! Do you know how long they last?</p> <p>@mediagirl: I don't know, but maybe c.sassy does? Oh really, so then what are you supposed to do with basil? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65934 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:16:29 +0000 mediagirl 65934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I saw those tubes and thought they looked really interesting. They have to last longer than the herb itself, right?</p> <p>By the way, something I learned about Basil recently - don't refrigerate it or it will go brown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65929 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:13:32 +0000 Weagle 65929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Because of the consistency, I wouldn't use them on, say, a salad. But they're great in sauces, marinades, or mixed in other foods. I use them all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65886 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:14:21 +0000 Rescuemom10 65886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds cool! Def want to try this. Sounds yummy and practical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65882 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:12:08 +0000 MH.Abroad 65882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird. But cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65844 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:44:23 +0000 Boogs 65844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm actually bad about doing that a lot, too.</p> <p>@cyneswith: I want to say I read about it on Pinterest.</p> <p>@c.sassy: I've never actually used them, I've just seen them. Are they are good? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65550 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:55:57 +0000 Weagle 65550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I love the herb pastes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65503 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:14:54 +0000 Andrea 65503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I think you can use it just like regular basil! Like if you wanted to sprinkle fresh basil on top of something you could use the spray instead if you didn't have any fresh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65392 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:01:46 +0000 Rubies 65392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you use it? Can you spray it into a pasta sauce? Coool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65390 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:00:54 +0000 cyneswith 65390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Why didn't I know that??? I use mint and basil fairly frequently, but I can never use a whole package. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65379 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:56:51 +0000 chopsuey 65379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Never heard of it! I love discovering new things in the produce section!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65305 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:15:17 +0000 Andrea 65305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I'm really bad about that ... usually by the time I realize the herbs have gone bad and I can't freeze them anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65304 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:12:46 +0000 Boogs 65304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I've seen that, but my produce section has tubes of herb pastes. Did you know, you can also freeze fresh herbs? That might help with any excess you have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65298 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:59:41 +0000 heffalump 65298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of it, sounds interesting! I'm hoping to eventually have an herb garden, but until then I want to try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-discovery-in-the-produce-section#post-65294 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:52:50 +0000 Andrea 65294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many of you clicked in anxiously awaiting some big reveal?</p> <p>Well, to me it is exciting. Basil concentrated spray! I have only tried using it in my salads and it is so yum! The ingredients say sunflower oil and basil. I always seem to waste money and throw away unused basil so maybe this can be my solution? They also have other herbs. Anybody else use this stuff? </p>
