How/where should I store fresh thyme?!
Answers: and how long will it last? Its one of those packets you get in the fresh produce section...
Rinse fresh herbs well and lay on a paper towel. Wrap loosely in a paper towel and place in zip lock bag. Store your bag of herbs in your refrigerator's crisper.
If you won't be using your herbs within a week or so, its best to freeze rather than drying. Frozen herbs, once thawed, can be used just like fresh herbs in any recipe, though they will lose some of their flavor over time, so its best to use them within a year and use a bit more than a recipe calls for. Here's how to freeze fresh herbs:
Remove leaves from stems and place in a zip lock bag, spreading the herbs out, so there is a single layer. Lay flat in freezer.

Refrigerator
I keep it cold dark place in the fridge a few days to 2 weeks depends on how fresh
refrigerator - in paper towl in ziplock
air tight glass jars or glad bags.
wrap it in plastic, or just place it in water
i would think that placing it in an air tight container would make it mold... maybe in a zip lock bag with the paper towel in the fridge... i have the dried stuff that comes with a spice rack.. so am curious to see some answers.
