How to Substitute Herbs
You can substitute dry herbs for fresh herbs in many recipes, but should you?
Herbs
Dried herbs are more potent than fresh. They are best used in longer-cooking recipes like soups and stews, while fresh herbs are best added near the end of cooking.
Quite a few herbs should be avoided in dried form because they are tasteless; these include basil, chives, dill, parsley, and tarragon.
To Replace: 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs
Always opt for fresh herbs when available. Dried versions are often tasteless.
