So very glad I happened upon this cilantro storage method! I keep cilantro on hand at all times, and even using it as often as I do, over 1/2 the bunch typically ends up being thrown out due to wilting/yellowing. I've had my jar going for about a week now and and it still looks and smells fresh and beautiful! Each time I need to use some, I just go ahead and pick through and discard the few stems that are failing. Thank you for sharing this method!
Update: my first jar kept for just over a month!!! Granted, on my last use there were several stems that needed discarding, but of the still green stems, they remained fragrant and fresh tasting. Over a month!! Amazing!

Being the scientist that I am, I had to do a side by side comparison of this with my usual method of storage (kept enclosed in a plastic produce bag). I checked/used them with the same frequency and found both methods to yield comparable results. They both lasted (and smelled fresh) for 3 weeks, following the directions to remove any yellowing or rotting stems/leaves along the way. We get very fresh produce here, so I am not sure if this method would make more of a difference if the cilantro you purchased weren't as fresh.

This works great! I tried it on cilantro and parsley, and it worked on both! Made for Favorites of 2009 Tag game...thanks to Marramamba for putting it in your cookbook!

I just threw out almost a whole bunch of Cilantro and was wondering if there was anyway to get it to last longer because it spoils so quickly. I am so glad to find your posting. Thank you!!! I am going to purchase some more Cilantro tomorrow and give it a try.

Hi Galley Wench
Had to try this as I, too, am throwing away my share of cilantro. Pulled some more out of the jar last night and realized that It had been stored almost 10 days. No rotten leaves yet--just fresh and delicious.
will try with other herbs as I get them--especially as basil comes into season.
Thanks

Wow, works great, can't believe something so simple works so good. I'd never thought of trying this and I'm always throwing out cilantro. As much as we use it (love the stuff) just couldn't use a whole bunch. Thanks GW for a great idea.

Brilliant! I have never found a way to keep cilantro for more than a few days and oftentimes end up adding it to our compost pile. Not any more. I followed your instructions and now have fresh cilantro on hand and have had for at least 1 week and still going strong. Cannot thank you enough. {^.^}

This method works great! I have had my cilantro for at least 2 weeks and there is still some that's fresh. I do have to check occasionally to take out any yellowed or brown leaves. Thanks for the great idea Diana! I will be using this way from now on! :)
