The Best Time To Harvest Herbs

There is one time of day that is better than all others to harvest herbs, and that is first thing in the morning.

Why?

Because the plants have rested overnight and their oils and moisture are concentrated in their leaves.

During the day, or when temperatures start to warm up, the plants are busy growing and transpiring and their oils and moisture are moving all through the plant.

So if you want strong herb flavor and aroma, harvest herbs first thing in the morning before they start actively growing for the day.
