If you don’t grow fresh herbs in pots or on your windowsill in your garden buying them at the grocery store can be expensive. And after bringing home an expensive bunch many home cooks use a pinch and let the rest go to waste. And while there’s no real substitute for fresh herbs and they’re simply irreplaceable in certain dishes some dishes actually taste better with dried herbs.
