Nothing beats the aroma of **Fresh Mint Leaves (πΏ)**. Whether you're making a mojito, a fresh salad, or a soothing tea, knowing how to pick and store your HEB herbs is the secret to great flavor.
When shopping at **HEB**, look for mint leaves that are a vibrant green with no yellowing or dark spots. The stems should be firm, not wilted. A quick sniff should reveal a strong, clean menthol scentβthat's how you know it's at its peak.
To keep your mint fresh for up to two weeks, treat it like a bouquet! Trim the ends of the stems and place them in a small glass of water. Cover the top loosely with a plastic bag and store it in your **HEB refrigerator** shelf.
