Optional: The Jar Method
Another effective method is to store cilantro in a jar with water. Trim the bottom of the cilantro stems and place them in a jar filled with a little water (like a bouquet of flowers). Cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag and secure it with a rubber band. Store the jar in the fridge, changing the water every few days.
Why This Works
Wrapping cilantro in paper towels and storing it in an airtight container helps to regulate moisture levels. This prevents the cilantro from becoming too wet or too dry, both of which can cause it to spoil faster. The jar method keeps the cilantro hydrated from the stems up, extending its freshness.
Enjoy Fresh Cilantro Anytime!
With these simple storage tips, you can keep your cilantro fresh for up to two weeks or even longer. Use your fresh cilantro to add vibrant flavor to salsas, soups, salads, and your favorite dishes anytime you like. No more wasted herbs β just fresh, delicious cilantro whenever you need it. Happy cooking!
