Herb Substitutes: Fresh vs. Dried

❌ Don't

  • βœ• Use equal amounts of dried and fresh herbs.
  • βœ• Add dried herbs right before serving.
  • βœ• Over-substitute delicate fresh herbs with dried.
  • βœ• Ignore that dried herbs are far more potent.

βœ… Do

  • βœ“ Use 1 tsp dried for 1 tbsp fresh herbs (1:3 ratio).
  • βœ“ Add dried herbs early in cooking to bloom flavor.
  • βœ“ For delicate herbs (cilantro, parsley), use fresh when possible.
  • βœ“ Remember robust dried herbs (rosemary, thyme) are extra potent.
  • βœ“ Crumble dried herbs to release their essential oils.
