The Dangers Of Drying Herbs In Your Microwave
For most people, acquiring herbs involves going to the store and purchasing them. This is habitually the easiest way to acquire them, but it also provides a false sense about the complexities of maintaining the benefits of herbs. That is to say, before the herbs are packaged in mass quantities and then shipped out to stores, there is a process of drying involved that eliminates the various moistures that may undermine the benefits of the herbs as well as making them more susceptible to spoilage on the shelves. Of course, people who grow their own herbs know better. Often, they undertake the process of drying herbs in their own microwave ovens.
While some may think that drying herbs in a microwave it effective, others know the damage it causes to the herbs. Maybe some believe the herbs will “explode” in the microwave oven in the same manner the wet poodle exploded in the silly yet prominently retold urban legend tale. (Then again, if you cook food too long in a microwave it has the potential to explode so the same may happen to herbs if one is not careful) But this is not the most damaging aspect of drying the herbs in a microwave. Ultimately, if one is a growing one’s own herbs, there will be a need to dry the herbs in order to preserve them and the best way to do this is to employ methods other than drying the herbs in a microwave.
