Are herbs perishable

Yes, herbs are perishable and can spoil over time. Fresh herbs, such as basil and cilantro, typically have a short shelf life and can wilt, lose flavor, or develop mold if not stored properly. To extend their freshness, it's best to store them in the refrigerator, either in a damp paper towel or water, depending on the type. Dried herbs have a longer shelf life but can lose potency over time.
