Fresh brahmi greens are highly perishable and typically last only 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing is not recommended for fresh use as the leaves are succulent and will become mushy; however, they can be blanched and pureed before freezing for use in smoothies.
Look for bright green, thick, succulent leaves that are firm to the touch. Avoid any that are yellowing, slimy, or wilted.

Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove any soil. The stems are edible if tender, but tougher stems should be removed.
No, while often confused, Brahmi is Bacopa monnieri (Water Hyssop), whereas Indian Pennywort is Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola).

Brahmi has a slightly bitter and cooling taste, which is why it is often paired with fats like ghee or coconut to balance the bitterness.
