Coriander leaves, also known as cilantro, are a must-have for adding flavor and aroma to many dishes
However, they can wilt quickly if not stored properly. To keep them fresh, start by washing the leaves thoroughly to remove dirt.
After washing, gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, as excess moisture can cause spoilage.
One popular method is wrapping the coriander leaves in a slightly damp paper towel and placing them inside an airtight container or ziplock bag.
Store this in the refrigerator to keep the leaves fresh for up to a week. Alternatively, you can trim the stems and store the bunch upright in a jar of water, like a bouquet. Cover it loosely with a plastic bag and refrigerate, changing the water every 2-3 days.
For long-term storage, chop the leaves and freeze them in ice cube trays with water or oil. This way, you can add the frozen cubes directly to your dishes.
These simple tips will ensure your coriander leaves stay fresh and flavorful for longer.
