There’s no denying that fresh herbs add pizzazz. I love sprinkling fresh rosemary on potatoes, cilantro on white chicken chili, and basil in spaghetti sauce. The biggest issue is figuring out how to store fresh herbs so they don’t wilt and spoil before I need them. Good thing savvy shoppers have found a way to extend the shelf life of fresh herbs — the ProKeeper herb keeper.
Amazon shoppers say they can keep “fresh herbs for five-plus weeks” in this clever container, which is on sale right now. Mushy, slimy herbs will quickly become a thing of the past once you’ve got this herb keeper in your kitchen.

The ProKeeper features a simple design: a base with a hinged lid and a removable basket with a handle. Simply put a small amount of water in the base, stand the fresh herbs in the basket, insert the basket into the base, and close the lid. Since the base is clear, it’s easy to keep track of which herb you have in there.
According to the brand, you can store bunches of fresh herbs or stalks of asparagus in this keeper. Shoppers agree; one reviewer reported that it’s “large enough to fit three bundles,” and they’ve used it to store cilantro, parsley, and green onions. At 9.72 x 6.65 x 5.4 inches, it’s slim enough to fit in the side door of a refrigerator.
Over 1,000 shoppers have given it a five-star rating for how well it prolongs the freshness of their herbs. One reviewer said that they previously had to use fresh cilantro the same day it was bought, but with this container, it stays “nice [and] fresh for a long time.” “I no longer have to fret about whether or not I have fresh herbs on hand for the recipe I’m making that night,” wrote another customer. This keeper takes “fresh herbs that might last a week in the fridge at best and extends their life to three, four, five, or even six weeks,” they added. Another shopper declared, “I’ll never go back” to using Mason jars or Tupperware since the ProKeeper keeps their herbs “fresh and perfect.”
Stop tossing out herbs before you can use them. Store them the right way with the ProKeeper herb keeper and you’ll never lack a garnish again.
