Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I lose so much cilantro to it getting slimy. And this is such a “duh, why didn’t I think of that” concept.

I do this also, but if i cannot use it all.. i put into an ice cube tray …a little water and freeze them individualy.. so i can just add the ingredient to my meals later!
Jessica Fisher
Sounds great. Great time to stock up that way!

This is such a helpful tip. It works so well. I love cilantro! I use it in my bean salads, Mexican dishes, salads, and dressings. YUM! Thanks, again, for the tip. Pinning it now.

Is it okay to wash the cilantro initially? Or should one wait and wash it right before it is used?
Jessica Fisher
Sure. It’s often sprayed at the store anyway.

Mine goes really fast if I wash it first. (We have to do a vinegar or other cleansing soak, so maybe it’s different?) I always wait until I’m using it!

Great tip! Cilantro is one of those fresh ingredients that I need every once in awhile and after I use it for one meal, I either have to figure out something else to use it on otherwise it just goes bad…another reason to start my own herb garden. 🙂
