Cilantro tip

I bought some cilantro yesterday for the fish tacos. I learned a while back that buying fresh cilantro can be hard. You can only buy it in bundles, and it's hard to use that much cilantro. But we really enjoy it and do use it sort of often. So a while back I googled ways to keep cilantro longer. Anyone who's bought it fresh knows it doesn't always last too long. The best tip I found is this: Put it in a glass container or cup filled with water and cover it with a plastic bag. When the water turns yellow, empty and put in fresh water. Store it in the fridge. This keeps the cilantro much longer. I also try to plan meals that use fresh cilantro within a few weeks of buying it, so I can really utilize the cilantro bunch. Luckily for us, our recipes using fresh cilantro are varied and different, so we don't have to have many similar meals close together just to use our cilantro. However, if you find it hard to use it fresh, I have found it freeze dried. It's not as potent, obviously, but offers some of the flavor.
