do you briefly bench to preserve color ?
what result do you think your cigar // Fz method
would produce , w/o the blanch
in the dished you use the C-F for ?
Blanching wilts the herbs making them easier to pack but primarily to permanently inhibit any autolytic or other enzymes present.
Since they are used for cooking the texture is not important and the flavour is much better than drying.
