How to store Cilantro in the fridge
Cilantro—they say you either love it or you don’t. I love it, and if you’re reading this, I get that you’re like me—one of those who says yes, those who let Cilantro add flavor to our lives.
Cilantro is a type of herb that looks similar to parsley in appearance, but there’s no comparison in flavor or scent. You can add Cilantro to a variety of salads, hot dishes, and stews, and it has a unique taste. (Cilantro – Wikipedia)
Cleaning and washing Cilantro
Usually, Cilantro leaves come tied together with a small elastic band, which should be removed before washing. After removing the band, gently separate the stems and wash them thoroughly under the tap.
You can also soak the stems in water or dip them a few times, but it’s not necessary. After washing, shake the leaves lightly over the sink and place them on a colander or other drying tool.
Packaging and storing coriander
After drying, I roll the leaves in a paper towel, applying a little pressure (but not too much) while doing so. The pressure helps maintain the freshness of the leaves and saves space in the fridge. Once the leaves are wrapped, I place the rolled bundle into a plastic bag. You can store different herbs bundles together in the same bag.
