How to Store Fresh Herbs

I kept buying fresh herbs to only have them go bad in the first day or two. I tried storing them in plastic bags, tupperwear, wrapped in a damp paper towel...nothing worked.

So after doing some research online here is the best option I have found so far:

Fill a glass cup or jar with about one inch of water. Place the herbs in the glass and cover loosely with a plastic ziplock bag. 

I find the herbs last about a week, week and a half max with this method.

Much better than having to waste them and throw in the trash! 

Let me know if you have any herb storage tips :)
