In our daily lives, we often buy a bit more food than we need, but if not stored properly, it can spoil very easily. This is especially true for common foods like cilantro. Therefore, mastering the right preservation method is essential. Let's take a look at how to store cilantro.
For whole cilantro with roots, wash and arrange it neatly. Place a small amount of salt in a pot of boiling water, then dip the root ends of the cilantro into the water for about half a minute. Next, submerge the entire cilantro in the water to blanch for 10 seconds. Remove it as soon as it turns green, let it cool, and then hang it in a ventilated area to air-dry. Avoid direct sunlight. After 3 to 4 days, it will be completely dry and crispy. Take it down, cut it into small pieces, and store it. When ready to eat, soak it in hot water to soften it. It can then be used as an ingredient or added to soups, retaining its original aroma.
Ensuring food is fresh is key to better taste. The above is an introduction on how to store cilantro. This way, we can better preserve it in our daily lives, which will be much more convenient.
