How To Store Your Green Seasoning in the Fridge?
Store your green seasoning in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. I typically use an old jerk seasoning jar, marinara sauce jar, and or old seasoning jar. Use what you already have in your cupboard. This will last 1-2 months in the refrigerator.
I recommend placing a piece of cling wrap over the opening of your storage container before you close it. This helps to prevent odor transfer to other items in your refrigerator.
How To Store Your Green Seasoning in the Freezer?
You can make additional quantities and freeze them in ice cube trays, after they are frozen, remove the cubes from the trays and store them in freezer bags. Thaw before use.

This green seasoning is a game-changer! It adds so much freshness and flavor to any dish, and it’s so easy to make. I love how it uses fresh herbs and spices that I can find at my local market. I use it to marinate chicken, fish, vegetables, and even tofu. It makes everything taste like a tropical vacation.
This was my first try at green seasoning and I thank you for making your recipe so easy to follow. Added so much flavor to my chicken marinade I didn’t really need anything else!

I loved this recipe so so much, and more so the versatility of the green seasoning. I used it as a marinate for my goat leg, which sat overnight. The roast was so full flavored and everyone wanted to know what I did to achieve those flavors; and I referred them to this post. Huge thank you!
I had never heard of green seasoning before coming across this recipe. It should really be called green magic because it takes practically any dish up to the next level. I used this to flavor a simple shrimp and rice dish that I cook all the time and I noticed a huge difference after adding this seasoning! This is one recipe to keep on hand!
This green seasoning is slightly different than one I’ve made before, but it was no less incredible! I’m using it at breakfast, lunch and dinnertime!
