Herb Savor Pod 2.0

The Prepara Herb Savor Pod 2.0 is an upright, BPA-free plastic container that keeps fresh-cut herbs alive by letting their stems stand in a small reservoir of clean water, much like a bouquet in a vase. This 2.0 version is roughly 20% larger than the original and features a hinged clear door for easy access plus a tethered filler cap for topping off the water. Its tall, narrow footprint is designed to fit neatly in a refrigerator door, and it works for herbs like basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, chives, dill and rosemary, as well as scallions and asparagus.

To use the pod, you open the hinged front door, insert a bunch of clean fresh herbs stem-side down, and add fresh water through the base filler cap so the stems sit in a shallow reservoir. Because most tender herbs keep best when their cut stems can draw up water, this hydration slows wilting and can extend freshness to as long as three weeks.

The sealed pod also limits moisture loss and air exposure to the leaves while the water keeps the stems from drying out. The key to results is refreshing the water every three to five days by pouring out the old water through the spout and refilling, which prevents the water from going stale and keeps the herbs hydrated.

• Store herbs stem-side down so the cut ends sit in the water reservoir.
• Empty and refill with fresh water every 3 to 5 days for best results.
• Best for tender stem herbs, scallions and asparagus rather than pre-washed leafy greens.
• Tall narrow shape is sized to stand in the fridge door.
• BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Sold as single pods or in multi-packs, so buy enough for the herbs you use most.
