I had a host fb me this question and I have no idea and can't find any info online anywhere...anyone know? "Can you store 2 or more types of herbs in the herb keeper at a time?"
Anyone?
 
I dont see why you couldnt. But if you have a large bunch like from a grocery store, there may not be enough room. But if she is clipping from her garden a little bit at a time, then I would say sure!
 
It depends on the size and design of the herb keeper. Some herb keepers may have multiple compartments or separators, allowing you to store different types of herbs at the same time. However, if the herb keeper is just a single container with no dividers, it would be best to store one type of herb at a time to prevent them from mixing and potentially affecting the flavor of each herb. It is always best to check the product instructions or contact the manufacturer for specific guidelines on using the herb keeper.
