o.k. i have put just a little bit in the freezer a while back, haven't
used it yet. i did notice that stray fronds dried up seemingly perfectly
without taking any action on my part. that would seem much cheaper than
the dried in jars.
google results seem mixed on what constitutes the 'season,' some saying it
can be found in produce departments year-round.
