We have all experienced it. You buy a bunch of bright green fresh basil or parsley at the supermarket on Sunday and by Wednesday, it's all wilted and brown.
That's why I'm pleased to introduce you to Daregal Gourmet Herbs, a company specializing in fresh frozen herbs. That's right. Fresh herbs are chopped, washed, and packaged in user-friendly containers. Daregal offers basil, parsley, cilantro, dill and oregano as well as three spice blends.
Want to try some yourself? Well, here's your chance. Two lucky Food Blogga readers will receive four different spices from Daregal. Here's what you have to do to win:
Just tell me what your favorite herb is by the end of the day Saturday, December 20, 2008. That's it.
Two winners will be randomly selected and announced in a future post next week, so please check back. Don't have a blog? Just leave an active email address where you can be reached. Also, winners will need to provide their real names and mailing addresses. My apologies to my international readers, but given the nature of the prize, winners will have to be limited to US residents.

Oregano and cilantro. I love Mexican food.
No contest - cilantro. It's essential for our homemade guacamole!
basil, totally. sylvia.read at gmail.com
Hands down my favourite herb is basil. Every kind of basil imaginable makes it into my dishes!!!
Basil is definitely my favorite fresh herb to eat. Rosemary is my favorite herb to smell and use as an oil. And oregano is my favorite dry herb.

What a great way to get fresh taste!
My favorite herb is Rosemary. Maybe it's because it's the last one in the herb garden every year, but I LOVE the earthyness.
PARSLEY, definitely. jessicaoftheworld@gmail.com
My favorite herb?.. ANY! So much Flavor! But.. Basil and Chives are my most fave!
It's probably rosemary. Or cilantro. no wait! basil.
I don't know. I like them all.

My fave is Cilantro. I love the smell, too.

Gosh, I love so many herbs... I guess my favorite would have to be rosemary. I've never heard of the frozen herbs... if I don't win, I'm going to have to buy some and give them a try!

Rosemary

I love dill and chives!
Basil, no doubt about it!
Definitely cilantro for me! I LOVE it! Basil and rosemary are the runners up.
Hmmm... I think it's a toss-up between tarragon and dill.
Basil - now if only it tasted year-round the way it does at the height of summer
Gosh...usually my favorite herb is the one I'm using at the moment to make a scrumptious bit of something. I use a lot of oregano and rosemary...great for different meats!
: )
oh that's such a tough choice! i'm torn between cilantro, basil and rosemary. it depends on my mood and time of year. my email is ellenp1214@gmail.com
Hmmm... I love both basil and dill, but if I have to pick one, it would probably be basil. And I really like parsley too, though it seems to get overlooked/taken for granted... but it's so versatile! (Really, my preference is for anything but cilantro.)
Tough to decide Susan. I adore rosemary & thyme, but cook so much using basil. Happy holidays!
Basil and Cilantro!
I'm going to have to go with Parsley! Sweets@fahrenheit350.com
I LOVE dill--for some reason I cannot get enough of it lately. Could be a pregnancy thing but still. So Yummy!
Parsley, hands down. It's my go to herb for flavor and for presentation. I keep a fresh bunch of parsley in a damp paper towel at all times in my fridge. After that, it's thyme.
Basil, all the way. I live in an apartment, so I can't grow it the way I'd like to, but my mom plants 15 bushes every year and makes Pesto in the fall. When I open up one of the jars, it's like summer has arrived all over again.
my email is melissedow@gmail.com
I am a basil girl but I grow it year round. What I hate buying because it wilts so quickly and would love winning is cilantro!
My favourite herb is .... tough question but if I have to chose among my favourite which is mint, cilantro, oregano and parsley, I would say parsley because it's the one I cannot do without.
My favorite herb right now is cilantro! I'm putting it in everything as of late...
My email is kjlaufer at hotmail dot com.
Thanks, and I hope I win! :-)
What a great idea! My favorite herb is basil.
I think my favorite herb is cilantro. It can be used in so many different recipes and I love its bright flavor!
Its a tie for me between Basil and Cilantro. Both of which seem to wilt on me sooo fast. I would LOVE to win this!
liliana0816@yahoo.com
Sweet Basil is my fave. torina.busyintersection@yahoo.com
It's a tie between cilantro & basil. Looks like they're popular picks!
How fun!
This is tough. I think I'd have to say basil, but cilantro is a super close runner up! :)
Hmmmm, a tough choice...basil with cilantro as a very close second at our house!
edooley@yahoo.com
Cilantro for me ... necessary for yummy salsa.
Here's an emailed entry I received. It's from Martha who loves cilantro.
I couldn't live without basil! Just the smell of it puts me in a good mood!
I'm a basil girl! emilysbarrettAThotmailDOTcom
My favorite herb is probably lavender! I love the smell of it.
Basil, all the way.
(unless garlic counts as an herb.)
my favourite herb is fenugreek leaves...although I reside in HK..Susan I couldn't help sharing my views too :)
Oh Parsley is definitely my favorite....with Basil a close second! What a great item- I usually freeze my basil and parsley and chives right from the garden- it is so much easier.
I'll have to join the crowd with basil being my favorite herb. I just can't wait for summer and the fresh pesto - Yum!
My email is acmullins at gmail dot com.
how awesome would this be!!! i might go for parsley, just b/c it brightens up just about any dish :)
My absolute favorite herb is basil! Although rosemary is very quickly starting to catch up to it!
I'd have to pick basil, followed by oregano.
I LOVE basil. Mmmmm...pesto :)
Cilantro! I love it, but unfortunately some almost always goes to waste when I buy it fresh.
My favorite herb is basil. I love basil with tomato!!!
Must have my pesto: Basil.
Rosemary is a close second.
kigallegos@hotmail.com
my favorite is fresh dill. (or basil)
so difficult! i'll have to go along with the masses and declare cilantro and basil as my favorites!
jen.madera@gmail.com
thyme!
christine.eckhardt@gmail.com
I love cilantro!
photosuzanne@yahoo.com
*Rosemary* is wonderful with olive oil and garlic on pretty much everything!
this one's easy--cilantro!! :)
My favorite is basil by far!! Thanks! klaird2@rochester.rr.com
Basil wins as my favorite herb, hands down! My e-mail address is emlawton13@yahoo.com.
my fav would have to be oregano...I use it in almost all of my cooking...hubs is half latin, so I cook alot of latin foods, it's an excellent ingredient to have on hand

Favorite single herb is cilantro; the smell at the store makes me swoon LOL.
Fav herb mix is Bell's Seasoning, which no one where I live has ever heard of, but I bet you might have, since you grew up in RI, where my mother's from. I read that Martha Stewart used it when making stuffing with Jennifer Garner.
How is the winner going to get frozen herbs delivered? I don't keep up on some things, and didn't know frozen things could be shipped.

I can only pick one favorite herb?? I'd have to say rosemary because I use it the most...but I also love thyme, basil, and oregano. Yum!
I love cilantro, mint, basil and oregano. My email id is rajikarthik@hotmail.com
Peppermint is great! Heck I even use peppermint shampoo, hairspray, and body wash.
Here's an emailed entry I received. It's from Corliss who loves cilantro.
Basil, hands down. I love just eating basil with crackers in the summer. It's so refreshing!
