Herb Scissors are a must-have kitchen tool if you’re growing fresh herbs or just love using fresh herbs in recipes! And this favorite kitchen tool with so many uses is something I love to give as a gift to friends who have herbs growing in the garden!

Recently I mentioned Herb Scissors when I was talking to my trainer about cooking with fresh herbs, and was surprised she had never heard of them. And these Herb Scissors are absolutely one of my top five most-loved kitchen tools and it’s fresh herb season, so I decided I need to remind my readers about them!

This year I have basil, mint, and parsley growing out on my patio at the condo, and I’ve already been using these scissors quite a bit! If you’re cooking with fresh herbs, I bet you’ll love these scissors that make chopping herbs so quick and easy! And I especially love the thin strips of fresh basil I can get by using them.

But recently I discovered that these amazing scissors that are so great for herbs, are also a-m-a-z-i-n-g for making thinly sliced green onions, something I use a lot all year! It was a game-changer idea to discover that, and just another reason I love my herb scissors!

Where did I get the Herb Scissors?

I love learning things from my readers, and I found out about Herb Scissors years ago from a discussion on the Kalyn’s Kitchen Facebook page. I’m such a fresh-herb lover that I immediately went to Amazon.com and bought some Herb Scissors (affiliate link), and I’ve been enthusiastically using them ever since! I found a variety of brands, but I picked RSVP Herb Scissors (affiliate link) partly because they had a cover to use for storing the scissors. I’m sure any brand that’s similar to this will also be amazing though!

Why do I love the herb scissors so much?

Chopping herbs with a knife isn’t labor intensive, but I love the way the herb scissors gives even strips of fresh herbs that add to the looks of the dish! I’ve mostly used my scissors for mint and basil, but they’d also be good for making strips of sage or quickly chopping things like parsley, oregano, tarragon. I snip the herbs from the stem and wash them and spin dry in a Mini Salad and Herb Spinner (affiliate link). Then I stack up the leaves and cut into strips with the scissors. My nephew Jake is famous for his knife skills, but even he was impressed with how fast you could make strips of basil with the herb scissors.

And as I mentioned in the intro, I recently discovered that the herb scissors are a great way to make thinly sliced green onions too! Let me know in the comments if you’ve found any other good uses for them!
