Cilantro is a popular herb that many people love. Cilantro can be eaten raw, added to salads, stir-fries, soups, and more. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is also a good medicinal herb for health.
One of the characteristics of cilantro is that it does not last long. It wilts and withers in just 1-2 days. To keep cilantro fresh and flavorful, follow these methods below.
Put cilantro in a glass of water
First, remove the wilted leaves and clean the cilantro.
Then, pour water into a small glass, the water level should be about 5cm high.
Place the cilantro stem into the glass of water. Then, wrap it with a plastic bag.
Store the glass of cilantro in the refrigerator.
With this method, cilantro will stay fresh for 2-4 weeks, depending on the condition of the cilantro when you first bought it.
Preserve with paper towel
With this method, you should only remove the wilted branches and should not wash the cilantro. Use a dry paper towel for the cilantro.
Then, divide the cilantro into small portions for each use. Wrap the cilantro tightly with paper towel. If the length of the cilantro is longer than the paper towel, use another piece of paper to continue wrapping until the cilantro is fully covered. Both ends of the bunch should be tightly wrapped as well.
Put each wrapped cilantro bundle into a ziplock bag. Remove the air inside the bag and seal it. Place the bag of cilantro in the refrigerator.
If you wash the cilantro before preservation, you can keep it for about 2 weeks. If you don’t wash it, the preservation time can be extended to 4 weeks, depending on the condition of the cilantro when you bought it.
Freeze for long-term storage
To preserve cilantro for a longer period, you should keep it in the freezer.
Wash the cilantro thoroughly and let it dry. Cut the cilantro into small pieces.
Put the chopped cilantro into a ziplock bag or a container with a lid. Place the bag/container of cilantro in the freezer.
With this method, you can preserve cilantro for at least 3 months. When you need to use it, simply take out an appropriate amount of cilantro and add it directly to your dish, without thawing.
If you thaw it before cooking, the quality and flavor of cilantro will decrease significantly.
With these preservation methods, you can only use cilantro in cooked dishes and cannot use it for garnishing.
