Instructions
Storing Whole Cilantro (Jar Method):
- Without rinsing, trim the stems slightly from a bunch of cilantro to make them flat. Add cilantro to a glass mason jar filled with 1-2 inches of water. Keep uncovered as a bouquet or cover with a plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks, refreshing the water every 3-5 days.
Storing Whole Cilantro (Paper Towel Method):
- Without rinsing, wrap whole cilantro in a damp paper towel and then place in a plastic bag or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Storing Chopped Cilantro:
- Before storing, make sure the chopped cilantro is thoroughly dry. Add the cilantro to an airtight container that has been lined with paper towels. Cover the container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
