Look for bright green leaves without any yellowing or wilting. Check the stems; they should be firm and not overly woody. A good indicator of freshness is the scent &#8211; fresh cilantro should have a strong, citrusy aroma.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <strong>Storing Cilantro<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29352\" src=\"https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-370x246.jpg 370w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-270x179.jpg 270w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-570x379.jpg 570w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/24104021\/shutterstock_84908539-scaled-e1692888031958-740x491.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>Cilantro is notorious for wilting quickly, so proper storage is crucial. To keep it fresh for longer, place the bunch in a glass of water like you would with cut flowers. Cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator.
