Thread: Storing Fresh Cilantro

Thanks for the advice. I love cilantro!

agree with deshydelishy, i would add on, remmber to change the water every time and then

Interesting idea, thanks. I expected the post to have instructions on drying the herbs for long-term storage.

You just went shopping and found a great bundle of fresh Cilantro. You get it home, and you are wondering how you can store it so that it will last the longest.

First grab a large bowl and fill it up with cool water. Break the bundle into the bowl and rinse well. Pick through the bunch and discard any pieces that are starting to die or look decayed.

Remove from the water and gently shake off any excess water. (You are not going to want to use a salad spinner as it will bruise the leaves)

Grab a vase, jar or glass and fill with water. You will want a container that will hold the herb snugly with the leaves just above the rim. Place your herbs in the container of water making sure that all of the stems are in the water.

Grab the produce bag that you brought your herbs home in and gently place over the top.

Place the jar in your refrigerator and monitor it. Every couple of days you will want to check the water, if it starts to look murky, dump the water and replace the water. Trim off any stems that might look like they are going bad.

Cilantro should stay fresh for about 2 weeks if stored in this manner.

Cilantro is known to be rich in phytonutrients, flavonoids and active phenolic acid compounds, and help controls blood sugar, lower cholesterol and fight inflammation and free radicals. Thanks for the advice.. God bless.

Hiya, by Cilantro do you mean Coriander, absolutely love the herb really freshens up Thai dishes, I have a recipe somewhere at home for a Thai soup that uses Coriander in abundance. Good tip i suppose its like keeping flowers just without the sachet of plant food!
