I brought home basil last week and it's very very dirty, at least where I buy it. I washed it in the salad spinner; is there a better way?
thanks

The salad spinner will seriously damage the leaves; please avoid that method. Personally, I'd leave them dirty until I'm ready to use them, and then, only clean what I need. If they have roots, break that part off, then swish the rest in cool water. Gently roll between paper towels to blot dry. Try not to cut them when wet, this will damage the leaf, too.
