How to Store Cilantro in the Fridge
I tested a few storage methods, and the jar and plastic bag method is the best way to store cilantro so it is fresh, vibrant, and ready to use for up to 2–3 weeks.

Servings: 1 bunch
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill the mason jar with roughly 1-2 inches of water (about 1/4 way full).
- Place unwashed fresh cilantro stems down in the glass of water so that the base of the cilantro stems is in the water.
- Place the plastic storage bag over top of the cilantro leaves.
- Secure the bag at the mouth of the mason jar with the rubber band and store your cilantro in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Change the water every 1-2 days to keep it fresh.

Notes
Paper towel method: Wrap washed, dried cilantro in a dry paper towel and place it inside a zip-top bag. Store in the crisper drawer. It works for 5–7 days but doesn’t last as long as the jar method.
