How to Store Cilantro for a Year While Keeping It Fresh

Method 1: Keeping Cilantro Alive

• To maintain cilantro freshness, remove any yellow or damaged leaves immediately after purchase. This prevents decay from affecting healthy leaves.

• Cut the roots but do not discard them; they are useful for regrowth. Use a cut bottle to create a water reservoir for the cilantro.

• Place the cilantro in the top part of the bottle with roots submerged in water, ensuring it gets adequate light and air circulation.

• Change the water every two to three days to keep it clean and promote new leaf growth. You can harvest sprigs as needed without harming the plant.

Method 2: Short-Term Storage (Up to Two Months)

• Fill a large bowl with water, add baking soda and salt, then soak cilantro for 10 minutes to remove pesticides and disinfect.

• Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear, then dry completely using paper towels since moisture can damage cilantro quickly.

• Wrap dried cilantro in plastic wrap, removing excess air before storing it in the refrigerator for up to two months.

Method 3: Long-Term Storage (Up to One Year)

• Wash cilantro well and trim roots; store them separately if desired. Cut leaves into manageable sizes for cooking.

• Place chopped leaves in a clean glass or plastic jar, seal tightly, and freeze. This method preserves aroma and flavor effectively.

• When cooking, take out what you need directly from the freezer without thawing first.
