Can you preserve Cilantro in the freezer? And for how long?!


Question: Can you preserve Cilantro in the freezer? And for how long?
I'm making a meal for which I need a little Cilantro. But you have to buy it in bunches at the grocer. Is there any way to preserve the rest of it, so it doesn't get wasted?

Answers:

A few days... Store in the refrigerator and keep dry and wrap in a dry paper towel.

Any longer, I suggest you mince it up and mix with water if you plan to freeze into little cilantro cubes. Little I mean 1/2 tsp size or smaller.

An alternative is to dry in a low oven (150F or lower) for a few hours or until dry.



If you are going to use it in a recipe that will be cooked later you can freeze it. I would chop it add it to water and freeze in cubes. Add a cube or two to soups or other cooked dishes. You could also dry it. Lay it out in a low oven, use a wire cooling rack to prevent it from falling through the wire oven rack or dehydrate in the microwave. Store in a jar or bag and use in or sprinkled on a dish.



I WRAP IT IN PAPER TOWEL AND PUT IT IN FRIDGE , IT STAY GUD FOR 10 DAYS.I HEAR HERB KEEPER IS ALSO GUD HAVENT TRIED IT YET.



Yes for about a week or two



even in the freezer it will last for 5 to 7 days (my case) after that the flavor changes
