Tip to save on coriander: easy! How to keep coriander fresh longer in the fridge Lifehacks - Page 2

Paper towels

A large resealable plastic bag or airtight container

A jar of water (optional)

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Prepare the cilantro

Start by selecting the cilantro. Remove any wilted or damaged leaves. This will ensure that only the freshest produce is stored, which will also last the longest.

2. Rinse and dry

Gently rinse the cilantro under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue. After rinsing, place the cilantro on a clean tea towel or paper towel to dry. It is important to remove as much moisture as possible, as excess water can accelerate spoilage.

3. Wrap in absorbent paper

Once the cilantro is dry, spread it out on a cool, dry paper towel. Wrap the cilantro in the paper towel, creating a soft but firm packet. The paper towel will absorb any excess moisture and prevent the cilantro from becoming too soggy.

4. Store in a bag or container

Place the wrapped cilantro in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. If using a plastic bag, make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag. If using a container, make sure it is airtight so that no air or moisture can get in.
