- Place the cilantro stems in a jar or glass of water, similar to how you would store fresh flowers. Cover loosely with a plastic bag and secure with a rubber band. Change the water every few days.
3. Paper Towel Method:
- Dampen a paper towel, wring out excess water, and wrap the cilantro in it. Place it in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Check the paper towel periodically and replace it if it becomes too damp.
4. Plastic Bag Method:
- Place the cilantro in a resealable plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing. Store the bag in the vegetable crisper drawer in your fridge.
5. Freeze in Ice Cubes:
- Chop cilantro finely and place it in ice cube trays. Fill the trays with water or olive oil and freeze. Pop out the cubes and store them in a freezer bag. Use these cubes in cooking for instant flavor.
