Hi Susan,

You can drop them in as is. No need to re-wet.

Hey!
Once the leaves are dried and stored and it’s time to cook/use them, do we wash them again to try to get the texture back or is it best to just throw in the dried ones straight from the container as is so the flavor isn’t lost?

Hi Anisha,

Yes, you are right. If you bring the plant inside the house, it will stay through the winter. However, I have a “tree” in a rather large pot that is difficult to bring all the way inside. I keep it in the garage through the winter. The leaves fall out, but the plant survives.

did not work for us… my husband travelled with Dried curry leaves but unfortunately they checked his luggage in immigration and threw away all the leaves…. may be it was just a bad luck
