To keep cilantro fresh the supermarkets sprinkle water on it. But if you leave it in the bag and through it in the refrigerator it gets spoiled in just 2-3 days. But if you spend a little time you can store it fresh for up to 3 weeks. If you are going to make chutney or salsa on the same day, go ahead and wash all of it. Otherwise do not wash. Let us see how to store cilantro fresh.
Materials you need
A container (any)
Paper towels
Cilantro/Coriander leaves

|
Procedure
First remove any spoiled or rotten leaves or stems. If the cilantro comes with roots, cut them out. Then pat it dry with a paper towel if it contains too much water drops.
Take the container and line it with a paper towel. Spread some cilantro on it. Put another layer of paper and spread some more cilantro. Cover it again with paper towel. For best results put more layers. Cover it with a tight lid and keep it in the refrigerator. Paper towels are going to absorb all the moisture and keep the cilantro fresh. If the paper becomes too wet, just change it. The air tight container protects the cilantro from air inside the refrigerator.
Now you can take some out when you need and use it. But do not forget to wash it. You may watch my video to see "how to clean and disinfect cilantro".
I hope this video helps you to store your cilantro/coriander leaves for up to 3 weeks. Let me know if you have any questions.
