In ancient Greece, kitchens were an essential part of daily life, and some of them featured built-in indoor herb drying racks. These kitchens were equipped with clay pots, stone mortars, and other cooking tools. The drying racks were typically made of wood or metal, and they were placed in warm and airy areas of the kitchen. The Greeks used a wide variety of herbs in their cooking, and drying them allowed for year-round availability and enhanced flavor in their dishes.
