Storing coriander in the refrigerator is a great way to keep it fresh and preserve its flavor for longer. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Clean the Coriander
Rinse the coriander leaves under cold running water and shake off any excess moisture. Make sure the coriander is completely dry before storing it.
Step 2: Wrap the Coriander
Wrap the dry coriander leaves in a damp paper towel and place the wrapped coriander in a plastic bag.
Step 3: Store in the Fridge
Put the plastic bag with the wrapped coriander in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator. This is the ideal location because it is relatively cool and has a high humidity level, which helps keep the coriander fresh.
Step 4: Label the Bag
Label the plastic bag with the date, so you know when you stored the coriander and how long it has been in the fridge.
Step 5: Use the Coriander
When you’re ready to use the coriander, remove it from the fridge and unwrap it from the paper towel. Rinse it under cold water to remove any excess moisture, and then chop or use as desired.
By following these simple steps, you can keep coriander fresh in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
