Extend the Shelf Life of Parsley & Cilantro - Tips & Tricks | Club Foody

I love cooking with fresh herbs as they make recipes so much better. If you are a foody, I’m sure you enjoy using them as well. During the summer, David and I always grow herbs on our patio… it’s a must have! I always have oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, chives, mint, sage, parsley , cilantro, and more…

When it comes to parsley and cilantro, harvesting the amount you need for a recipe is one thing but when buying a big bunch from the supermarket, it’s another situation. Unless you’ll be using the herbs up quickly, the chance of throwing some in the garbage can be pretty high.

Here I have a simple, quick and easy trick that will help you Extend the Shelf Life of Parsley & Cilantro. I tried placing the bunch of herbs in water in the past and besides taking up a lot of space on my refrigerator shelf, it didn’t work as well as this little trick.

As much as this trick works very well, you have to keep in mind that moisture is what keeps the herbs fresh longer which means you’ll have to keep an eye on the paper towel. If it gets dry, you’ll need to lightly wet it again. If it gets discolored (yellowish) or thorn, you’ll have to change the paper towel and wet it again.

I’ve been using my little trick for years now and this is how I can Extend the Shelf Life of Parsley & Cilantro longer in my refrigerator. Give it a try and you’ll be surprised how well it works and how cost effective it is.
