Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Fresh is always best, but if you can't get fresh then dried is good. Just try not to use powdered herbs unless you absolutely must. As soon as herbs are ground into a powder they start loosing their volatile oils. If they still smell very strong then you can use them, but just know that the longer they have been ground--the less effective they are.
