Instructions

  • Try To Buy Fresh Cilantro
    It’s very important to buy fresh cilantro that has not wilted or has any yellow leaves. Fresh cilantro can be purchased at your local supermarket or a farmer’s market.
  • Wash The Cilantro With Cold Water
    Start by trimming the stems, and then wash the cilantro thoroughly with cold water and some vinegar. Try to keep the cilantro leaves in cold water for a few minutes. It will remove all the dust and dirt. 
  • Dry The Leaves
    Use paper towel to dry the leaves. Your leaves should be completely dry as some residue water can rot the entire herb.
  • Use An Airtight Container For Storage
    Use an airtight container and place some paper towels inside it. Place the dry cilantro inside the container, and then add paper towels on top. Then close the lid.
  • Keep The Air Tight Container In Fridge
    Store the airtight container in the fridge. This process can prolong the shelf life of cilantro for at least two weeks. Paper towels are necessary for the airtight container as they will create a moist environment for the cilantro.
