Lmao, just use it instead of being lazy or making excuses. You'll never be wasting anything away if you do that.

I wash my cilantro, and then spin off as much water as possible in a salad spinner. I align all the stalks in the same direction and then put them in a long, plastic container lined with paper towels. I put another paper towel on top, snap on the lid, and then store it in the fridge. Whenever I need some, I just take it off the top of the pile, replace the top paper towel if its too wet, and put back in fridge. I have had cilantro last 3 weeks this way.

Wow! This is awesome. Typically, I layer a small sheet of Bounty paper towel in the bottom of a plastic container, then put in the washed cilantro, add another paper towel at the top, and cover. It does last for weeks.

Our Family Loves both cilantro & green onions, I will definitely be growing my gr. Onions inside now!! I have grown them before outside in my small herb garden. I was cutting mine and planting them only 1" long, as I used the top of the white part. I think they grow okay that way. I can't wait to grow them inside in a pot now!! We have saved cilantro by wrapping them in paper towels. They last much better. One other thing we do that I can share is washing fruits, berries & veggies to last longer & stop mold from growing: there is a recipe with vinegar & water to wash them with, that works great. I believe it was 1C vinegar to 3 Cups of water to rinse in. Be sure to air dry them or wipe where possible. See if you have less problems & much Less waste!! Happy Cooking Foodies👅🍇🫐🍓🥒🍅🌶🍋

I has been washing mine in vinegar and saw a woman on Today show say not to wash your fruit until you're ready to use it because it doesn't last as long, especially strawberries. I now just seal them in airtight containers until I'm ready to use them.

Wonderful! Thanks! I did this way of covering with plastic with lettuce. And in this way with paper towels, I put a small packs ofs silica. The silica you can use in food (like the one that comes in the sachet and along with Vitamins, collagen power and etc.). E and I use this type silica in the packages that come with watercress, spinach and others and so it lasts a long time.

You can dry the herbs on a tray remove the stems and dry the leaves in the sun indoors or outdoors. It works fine you dont always need a warm oven but that is ok also. Make sure oven temperature is very low. But mostly I put on a tray and allow cilantro, Basil and parsley to dry out inside or outdoors in sunshine. If you have a garden that is a plus but if you dont you can purchase the herbs very cheaply at farmers markets.

But you can’t scrub cilantro, so how do you rinse your cilantro as simple of a question as that seems I would have liked to have seen the way that you do it.? do you soak it? Do you just hold it gently and run water over it thank you so much for the tips.!
