How to keep Tulasi leaves fresh for longer time

It has been always a challenge to grow Tulasi Plant in Singapore.
The plant hardly survive for more then 3 to 6 months hence we always buy tulasi leaves from flower shop along with flowers for Bhoga offering purpose.

Here Find a way to keep Tulasi leaves fresh for longer time.

1. Take one empty box.

2. Pluck the Tulasi leaves along with small stem. if you have big box you can even keep with long stem.

3. Take one paper towel or tissue paper and keep at the bottom of the box.

 4. If the leaves are wet then dry it using kitchen towel and fill the box with all Tulasi leaves.

5. Now cover the leaves with another paper towel. 

 6. Cover the box and keep inside the fridge.

Tips :

Same technique can be used to store Palak leaves, Methi leaves or any green leafy vegetable to keep it fresh for longer time in fridge. In case of green leafy vegetables I always use news paper to cover and then keep in plastic bag before keeping it in fridge.

In case you get lot of Tulasi leaves then pluck enough for a week and remaining one offer to lotus feet of Krshna on same day you buy.
