How to store basil properly to keep it fresh and aromatic?

The article discusses the correct method for storing basil to maintain its freshness and aroma, emphasizing that refrigeration is not ideal. It explains that basil prefers warmth and that storing it in the refrigerator below 10°C causes wilting, cell damage, and enzymatic browning, leading to discoloration and loss of flavor. The recommended approach involves cutting the stems, placing them in a glass of water, and keeping them on the kitchen counter with sunlight, changing the water regularly. This method allows basil to stay fresh for up to two weeks.
