Fresh cilantro storage

Answer 1

According to Emeril, you can store a cilantro bunch upright in a glass with some water at the bottom, in your fridge. I'd imagine it would work for parsley as well. And like any fresh herb, make sure it is dry before storing it in your fridge.

Wash cilantro in clean water to remove any sand or dirt, and discard any roots and old or bruised leaves. Store fresh cilantro in the refrigerator in a sealed container or wrapped in a slightly damp towel. Use it as early as possible, because it loses flavor and nutrients quickly if kept for longer periods.

Answer 2

There are two common ways to store cilantro. 1. Snip the ends of the unwashed stems and place the cilantro bunch in a glass or mason jar of water. Change the water when it discolors. Cover the bunch with a plastic baggie. Refrigerate. 2. Roll in a damp towel and place in a plastic bag. Refrigerate.

Answer 3

Cut tip off the root end of the bunch and stick it in a jar of water. Place a plastic bag over the leaves loosely and store in the fridge. Should last for a week or more.

Or, after you cut the end off, you can wrap the stem in a wet paper towel and place the the whole thing in a ziplock bag. Squeeze out most of the air and store in the fridge
