Why Every Chef Needs An Herb Savor

Oprah's favor "basil saver" is here to save the day — and keep your herbs fresher for longer.

When it comes to cooking and preparing food, fresh herbs make all the difference. Tomato paired with mozzarella wouldn't be the same without basil, and taco night shouldn't even happen without cilantro.

It used to be that fresh herbs, when left to their own devices, would start getting stale pretty quickly. Fortunately, though, you can now triple the life of your fresh herbs with the Prepara Herb Savor.

It's a BPA-free container that gives the stems access to water and protects the delicate leaves from from getting smushed. The Prepara Herb Savor fits comfortably inside of most refrigerator doors, and because it's clear, you can easily see what's inside.
