Did you wash the herbs before you put them in the jars?

This is so confusing. Not the video itself but there so many contradictory opinions out there. Some say the bouquet method is the best while some say it is the absolutely the worst method and you should wrap them in a paper towel and vice versa. Some say like in this video that parsley should be wrapped in plastic bag at the top while another video said to never ever wrap it. I have seen one person on the internet even say fresh parsley should never be stored in fresh water but instead salt water because fresh water will suck up the magnesium, causing it to wilt. Some parsley in better at room temperature. Some people say that basil needs be covered as well. The only thing I have seen the vast majority of people agree on is never put basil in the fridge, lol.
